question I have is naming the fields of the database. For instance, which one is better or preferable? [Last Name] or [LastName], [Employee Number] or [EmployeeNumber], [Total Cost] or [TotalCost]; I prefer the single name rather than using space.

About the wizard vs the script?

I also want to know if the wizard provides options for interchangeability. Basically, I want my application to have a wizard where user can choose the type of database to use

I also see more books and articles uses scripting instead of the wizard; maybe because the wizard is new.

for the fields I use pascal cases like [FirstName], [LastName] etc. About for the table name, is it good to use space for table name? Like for example, which one is better to name a table Customer Information or CustomerInformation?
