I have seen lot of discussion on changing "dots" to "underscores" in table and dictionary names. What is the reason for this?

Rob,
With the advent of Arev 3.x there was support for
SQL. Sql requires the use of "_" instead of "."
so with the first release (3.0) it was manditory.
I believe that the following releases did some
attempts of converting '.' to '_" on the fly ..
but this can cause a great slowdown.
So .. if you are not at 3.x don't worry about it.

I would suggest that if he is not yet at 3.x,
but intendes to migrate to it, he should
consider converting his dots to underscores,
to make the migration process much easier.

We are using Arev 3.111.So it is recommended to change all "." to "_".
Is this only for the purpose of using SQL?
