Subject:datastore vs data store From:Ward Rosenberry <wardr -at- WORLD -dot- STD -dot- COM> Date:Mon, 26 Jul 1999 10:54:31 -0400
Both spellings of this term show up in my company's documentation.
This term doesn't show up in style guides but I lean toward the
datastore (one word) rendering as it's close to database.
Any other opinions?
