I think this sounds like a good idea. as they would be much easier to
remember if its a full word. You can always leave the 1 leave the 1 letter
abbrevations in anyway and have both!
I also notice that on the todo list is a job to turn all these into views. It
might be worth doing that (should not be too difficult I think) plus they
could then be used from other client programs.
Strictly I think this meta information should have its own access methods in
the sql standard because currently sql is a broken standard with out this
meta infomation.
