Database column names
#1
Is there a specific reason, other than legacy code, that most database columns have non-descriptive names like c00, c01, etc?

Isn't it about time they got assigned some proper names so you don't have to guess or download the source code to figure out what all columns are used for?

I often manually edit the database or create small applications that perform some very specific tasks on the database and it's always a pain figuring out what everything is.

Patch welcome. Note that if you look at the code they're the way they are for a reason. Said reason isn't all that valid anymore, and the same loops could be done by having another table assigning the column names.

Obviously it applies only to the video database.
