Hi Kristina,

I'm probably going OT when I shouldn't, but I'm so glad you mentioned
that because I was just wondering about it yesterday. I started out
using "id" because it was easy when I needed to use PHP to delete
records form different tables and such, but then sometimes it got
confusing so I started using names like "prod_id".

Besides what I discovered on my own, are there other reasons it's
considered bad practice? I'm very interested in knowing.
