Subject: should I use short names?

Is it best practice to use short field names to save space? some db's like
mongo encourage that. For example use fn instead of user_first_name.

No, they are stored in an index anyway and will be referred to by a property-id.

Out of curiosity, if you had a DB where there are 100,000,000 nodes and
you can cut each node name from twenty characters to 2, would that not
save the persistence requirements by a factor, I considering the holistic
system?

With XML parsing, this did play a factor in large document instances
simply because the SAX parser could hand off SAX events quicker.  The
factor was not huge but the in memory size of a resultant DOM and the DOM
based (akak XSLT, XPath, XQuery) queries did perform marginally better.

Just being curious and feel free to impose a beer fine at the next user
group meeting if I am off base.

He was asking about key names not values

And the keys are looked up from an index

Ah - then ignore my question and order beers on my tab next meet up.

;-)

I misread.    It reminds me of a joke whereby someone once claimed to
reduce the size of documents by using smaller fontsŠ..

ROTFL!
