Description
The "location" field in shapefiles (example: raingauge) is a number, reference to a location which has an 'id'. So, the location, as text, is a "join" (in SQL terminology) with the location table.
So, it would make things more clear and easier to maintain the code clear and maintainable, if we use the following formalism everywhere:
the attribute of an object, when that attribute is a "foreign key" (meaning: it's the 'id' field of another table), should be of the form "tablename_id".

QGis limits the length of the field names to 10.
So, OK for loc_id in this example.
