Yes (but not less than 2 or much more than 4 as you said). :Whether capitalization of keywords is a help is a matter of opinion. It *might* help some. It depends on what you are used to as well. :Whether it helps to use initial capitals on database objects is very much :open to negotiation.

Beeing in a tiny minority is in itself a small problem in this context, but the one may be right even against a majority of everybody else.
