• Why to extend names of foreign keys. We can keep domain for both the tables same. Like this:

    Department

    =========

    Dept_ID (PK)

    DName

    Employee

    =======

    ID (PK)

    Name

    Dept_ID (FK)

    Here Dept_ID in Employee table is a foreign key to Dept_ID in Department table.

    Suggestions/Comments most welcomed.
