streamline table names in ds.table

opened 01:29PM - 25 Jun 21 UTC

``` [1] "TABLE.STUDY.1_row.props" [2] "TABLE.STUDY.1_col.props" … [3] "TABLE.STUDY.2_row.props" [4] "TABLE.STUDY.2_col.props" [5] "TABLES.COMBINED_all.sources_row.props" [6] "TABLES.COMBINED_all.sources_col.props" [7] "TABLE_STUDY.1_counts" [8] "TABLE_STUDY.2_counts" [9] "TABLES.COMBINED_all.sources_counts" ``` there are like 3 different naming styles in here: `TABLE.`, `TABLES.` and `TABLE_` could those be streamlined and reordered to the following? Because that would be a) better grouping and b) allow for a more streamlined approach when using them programmatically ``` [1] "TABLE.STUDY1.row.props" [2] "TABLE.STUDY1.col.props" [3] "TABLE.STUDY1.counts" [4] "TABLE.STUDY2.row.props" [5] "TABLE.STUDY2.col.props" [6] "TABLE.STUDY2.counts" [7] "TABLE.COMBINED.row.props" [8] "TABLE.COMBINED.col.props" [9] "TABLE.COMBINED.counts" ``` Edit: One could even consider to switch the order of `props` and `row/col` which would make the structure even cleaner -> ``` [1] "TABLE.STUDY1.props.row" [2] "TABLE.STUDY1.props.col" [3] "TABLE.STUDY1.counts" [4] "TABLE.STUDY2.props.row" [5] "TABLE.STUDY2.props.col" [6] "TABLE.STUDY2.counts" [7] "TABLE.COMBINED.row.props" [8] "TABLE.COMBINED.col.props" [9] "TABLE.COMBINED.counts" ```

Hey, since there’s no activity on Github right now, I wanted to ask here, are there chances to get those names streamlined?

Hi @rapus95

I like your suggestion. We can include this change in version 6.2 of dsBaseClient.
