Major Red Herring. That said, the justification for naming tables using singular >entity names is that the tables represent collections of singular entities. Exactly my point. The tables represent *collections*. Plural. >Let's say you have a set of products. You want to describe them within a >table, so you name it "product". You can then talk about how you have a >many-to-many relationship between "product" and "category", which makes more >sense than using the plural in that a single product is what has the >relationship to a given category, not the entire set of products. But again, >it really doesn't make any difference, as long as you're consistent - >there's nothing more annoying than having a database with some tables using >singular names and others using plural names.
