RE: [Nolug] Verbose SQL

Actually, I was referencing a previous query to provide continuity for the
joke.
However, I have run across this redundant schema before. The
rationalization I received was to keep track of which objects were tables,
views, queries etc.

The idea is when you list objects, they are naturally grouped by the "tag"
infront of the name.
Also, you can name Tables, Views, Triggers etc similar names without trying
to keep track of spelling variations.

Thats my 2 cents.
