> So where do you fall in creating your names? I am agnostic about including v/ vu/ view in view names (actually I sometimes use c_tablename, especially when I only had to create the view because no-one here knows how to make Business Objects respect aliases/ dbLinks), I [try to remember to] use plurals for tables and singulars for columns. I don't like including an 'app_' prefix - I use database name (or the strangely ambiguous 'user' in Oracle/ SQL Server). I *definitely don't like the convention in one of our bought-in systems where all column names are 'Tn_Rowname' where 'Tn' was at some previous time the table name. The use of case is v. iffy in Oracle/ SQL Server (but I'm guilty, especially when it upsets the BO lot <g>).
