The @ sign was used for referencing records because of similarities to social media or slack handles when using unqualified names, eg. @kevin. But when qualifying with a table (and schema) and column it looks like an email addresses, eg. [email protected].

Questions:

  • Is this bikeshedding? Yes.
  • Is this a thing to change?
  • What should it be instead, a # sign? #kevin or schema.person#kevin.name might be better and # as indicating an 'id' has precedence in html/css
  • Should it just be @schema.table.record.column? Might be more consistent across its various forms, ie. @record.column, @table.record.column, and @schema.table.record.column
