ISO 11179-5 and table names

Hi dthtvwls,



Example of ISO/IEC 11179 naming in relational databases


ISO/IEC 11179 is applicable when naming tables and columns within a relational database.


Tables are Collections of Entities, and follow Collection naming guidelines. Ideally, a collective name is used: e.g., Personnel. Plural is also correct: Employees. Incorrect names include: Employee, tblEmployee, and EmployeeTable.





Yes, this is exactly not what I was looking for, because I already googled Wikipedia, but when I actually read the text of the standard, I'm unable to find an explicit reference to back this up.
