Naming conventions for Table Fields
In my reading I came across a convention for namining fields in a table that used a 2 letter table identifier followd by an underbar as a prefix to all table field names.
For example in a Customer table une would finf fields:
cu_CustCode
cu_Address
cu_City
cu_State
etc. Each table had its fields specified in this manner.
It is clear that there are advantages to this nomenclature in that you can easily identify and distinguish a field in a table from memory variable. There are also advantages in SQL statements.
Doing it however is somewhat of a pain and I am wondering if it is worth the effort.
Does anyone have any experience in using this naming approach?
