I have a very simple table called genre, which looks like this:
GENRE
=====
id int
genre_category varchar()
genre_category has values like "narrative", "myth", and so on.
genre_category seems like a silly name for the column. The column could be called genre_type or genre_label or genre_category. But it seems redundant.
So, is there any reason not to just go ahead and call it genre.genre?
EDIT:
The bottom line is that it's better to use .name. Thanks everyone!
