Re: PostgreSQL Developer Best Practices - Mailing list pgsql-general
Thank you to all that contributed to this thread. I now have about a dozen guidelines
I would like to share. However, since a few individuals felt it was more of an
opportunity to prove or disprove certain theories, rather than just contribute additional
good practices, I will not be posting them directly to this thread. Rather, if anyone is
interested in obtaining a copy, please just send me a request to my direct email and I
will gladly reply back with a copy.
Know that these are general guidelines. If you disagree with any of them, then you
are free to change them to suit you specific requirements. Just please do not start
another thread to debate the merits or disadvantages of them. If it's more important
to prove that you are right rather than contribute to help others, then you are doing
neither.

because that this the standard I prefer! :-)
But (also) because:
1. Singular words tend to be shorter
2. plurals are more ambiguous wrt spelling
3. there other good reasons, that I've forgotten for now :-(
(but I remember having them!!!)
'murder' ? Such wasted opportunities :p
collective nouns.

Reminds me about a story I was told where a programmer had used names of his favourite footballers as labels in an assembler program! :-)
