Hi,

I have been reading a bunch of articles online of suggested naming conventions for tables. Most - if not all the I found online - suggest defining table names in the plural. I personally don't like it but since most "gurus" advocate plural I was about to use it. But they I saw in my SQL 2005 Unleashed book the author using singular names for tables. So now I have at least one guru on my side <g>. My question is, will my naming of tables - in singular - seem odd to a DBA who will be maintaining my database?

TIA.
