    Hi,

    This may be a dummy question for DBA fundass...but I think it will be a debut in naming columns whether to use shortcuts or descriptive way.

    What are the common standards that we need to follow while naming a column in a table or naming a Table itself. ( atleast we should not use special chars that I'm aware of )

    In detail...

    COLUMN Name

    UPDT_TYPE_CD - shortcuts seperated by underscore ( _ )

    UpdateTypeCD - More descriptive manner

    Which one would be more appropriate and universally agreed standard

    Thanks,

    Suneel
