Yes you can use the same column name in a database and
in a schema. The only thing is that you have to
precede the field with the table name when you're
joining 2 tables containing columns with the same
name.
Let's open a can of worm.
There are 2 stands on this :
1. Something should have the same name everywhere in
the DB. For example, product_id should be product_id
in the product table and in the monthly sales table.
2. Each column should be prefix by the table
abbreviation so in the product table it is
prd_product_id and in the monthly sales table
something like mthlysl_product_id.
Personnaly, I prefer the first one.
