Re: Handling Requests And Statuses (Was "Re: Fw: Thanks")

The datasource name doesn't have to match the database name, of course,
so I wouldn't worry about that. I would just remove the space.

What's the need for tact? It's no criticism.

Just tell him/her you understand that spaces in datasource names can
cause problems (maybe not now but later), and it would be a good idea
to change it now before it gets too far down the road. Unless the
webmaster has good reasons for keeping it the way it is (e.g., too much
legacy code expects it to be "Survey Status" or somesuch) --- in which
case you should work it out together --- it should be a non-issue. If
everything works now and you don't expect to ever change your
configuration or add any advanced functionality, you may just want to
keep the name the way it is. Up to you. :-)

(Anyone else out there think differently? This is just my 2 cents...and
I'm not counting inflation. ;-)
