For instance, it would be perfectly fine to limit naming convention rules to tables and column names.

This three part series will present some commonly used naming conventions and provide some tips for formulating your own. Part 1 will cover Table names, while Part 2 will focus on column names. Finally, Part 3 will address Naming Conventions for other database objects such as Foreign Keys, Procedures, Functions, and Views.
