The Java-SQL question

[samildanach]

Here's what I eventually decided on:

private PreparedStatement _actor_mid_statement

:set ts=4

Eh? Tab expansion to spaces is considered good practice? Tell me more.

The variable names are written to match the instructor's (implicit) standard. I'm not a Java guy and don't care either way, but in my own code I prefer the style you outline.

Seems pretty but hard to write and even harder to edit :/ So it goes, though.

[samildanach]

Perhaps. It wasn't so so hard to write in Vim, though I bet with some experimentation and automation we could make it easier.

Hard to change... that depends on where you place your emphasis. "Pretty" means that it's easier to understand what it's doing, and thence change it correctly in six months (or six hours) when the program has leaked from active memory.
