TABLE.iTABLE? Isn't that redundant? If you ask me, its not very precise either. Why not TABLE.id and TABLE.name. ACtually as nice in theory as that is, I prefer to do TABLE.id_TBL (Shortened version of TABLE) that way, your relationshipd are easier to match. But .name is still a better idea than just renaming it after the table:
EMPLOYEE.Name
ITEMS.Name
MANUFACTURER.Name
SUPPLIER.Name
>TABLE.dStart instead of TABLE.StartDate
>TABLE.tStart instead of TABLE.StartDtTim
This I'm not going to touch just because I know its an example off the top of your head :-)
