Is shortening properties names worth it?
- by raam86
in how to node Blog rolling with node.js and mongoDB
the author mentions it's a good idea to shorten proprieties names:
....oft-reported issue with mongoDB is the
size of the data on the disk... each and every record stores all the field-names
.... This means that it can often be
more space-efficient to have properties such as 't', or 'b' rather
than 'title' or 'body', however for fear of confusion I would avoid
this unless truly required!
I am aware of solutions of how to do it I am more intrested in when is it truly required?
