> Most databases get by just fine with no namespacing at all.
True, but most databases are very limited components of the program(s) that use them, which do use namespacing, not the complete platform for the program.
We also get to have arbitrary names rather than trying to stuff everything into single word. "People who disagree with me on the internet" is a valid name for an Eve table.
It's a valid name, albeit on that requires quoting, in pretty much any SQL based database, too. A lot of organizations have coding standards that prohibit names requiring quotes, and/or long names, but most databases support them just fine.
That said, I'm quite interested in getting a hold of eve.
