I preface all table names with 3 character group reference.
SECURITY
SEC_Roles PK=Role_Key
SEC_Users PK=User_Key
SEC_User_Roles PK=User_Role_Key
FK=Role_Key
FK=User_Key
BILLING
BIL_Invoices PK=Invoice_Key
BIL_Payments PK=Payment_Key
BIL_Invoice_Payments
FK=Invoice_Key
FK=Payment_Key
Etc...

Subject: RE: database linking table naming conventions?
I'm confused. You're worried about the name of the table and the order
of the table names in your DB? This is a problem I've never heard of.
DBAs just name things what they want, and I've never heard of table
names causing problems except for cases like reserved words and special
characters in the name. Or am I misunderstanding your question?
