Hi, A friend told me that I should include the table name in the field name of the same table, I wondering why? And should it be like this? Example: (Table) Users (Fields) user_id, username, passowrd, last_login_time I see that the prefix 'user_' is meaningless since I know it's already it's for a user. But I'd like to hear from y...
I'm starting a new project and want to begin with a database naming convention that won't become a hindrance in the future. I want a consistent convention for tables and columns. At a previous employer I have seen all objects in upper case with underscores separating words. e.g. CREATE TABLE USER_TYPES (USER_TYPE_ID INT); Is this t...

Hi, I have an enumeration like Enum Complexity { NotSoComplex, LittleComplex, Complex, VeryComplex } And I want to use it in a dropdown list, but don't want to see such Camel names in list (looks really odd for users). Instead I would like to have in normal wording, like Not so complex Little complex (etc) Also, my applicat...

I have a variable that I'm using like a constant (it will never change). I can't declare it as a constant because the value gets added at runtime. Would you capitalize the variable name to help yourself understand that data's meaning? Or would you not because this defies convention and make things more confusing? The larger question: ...

I have always thought it was "best practice" to be explicit in naming my collection variables. So, if I had a collection of Car objects, I would typically name a Car[] carArray and a List<Car> carList. And then 99% of the time, I end up just doing something like... foreach (Car car in carArray) { ... } ...and I'm thinking, I coul...

Hello there When making relations between tables (in mysql), I have encountered a naming dilemma. For example, if I was creating a site where a project could be created by multiple users and also read by multiple users, to link a questions and user tables, I would potentially need two tables. **project_authors** questionId userId a...

What is your naming convention for DATETIME columns (in my case, using MS SQL Server) For a column that stores when the row was created CreatedDatetime makes sense, or LastModifiedDatetime. But for a simple table, let's say one called Event, would you create columns called: EventID, // Primary key EventDatetime, ...
I’m a huge believer in consistency, and hence conventions. However, I’m currently developing a framework in Java where these conventions (specifically the get/set prefix convention) seem to get in the way of readability. For example, some classes will have id and name properties and using o.getId() instead of o.id() seems utterly pointl...
Hi! I have a project called Data which is a data layer. In this project, all files are just lying in the top folder. I have enumerations, POCOs, repositories, partial classes and so on.
