No one else can easily figure out what you've done.

But if there is a company standard, there should be documetation for it. I would request it.

New Precedent:: FInd tons of sample code
that uses your (good!) naming convention.

So, is this just a power-play thing from some higher-up who's feeling a bit insignificant right now?

New Give these two men a prize
The current naming convention is ... umm, just don't use any kind of descriptive prefixes. Since we don't know what a view is here -- just as we didn't know the difference between a join and a left join until someone (ahem) pointed out in the docs why it was taking so long to run that query -- we can't conceive of any situation where prefixes would help clarify anything.

Besides, we do everything from the command line, and those extra four characters just constiture extra typing. And you should know how things are interrelated anyway.

New Do it their way
like I did, and just hope that the stress and depression doesn't get to you like it did to me.

I did it exactly the way they wanted it done. Only they decided to let me go. They had no idea of the time it took to do it their way, and the time it would have taken had I had done it my way. My way would have been a much shorter amount of time, and a much better design. But when managers want to take 100% control of your code, it takes longer, costs more money, and isn't as good a design.
