I was wondering if there are generally accpeted naming standards for SQL Server ojbects (tables, store procedeures, triggers, views etc.) that might be available somewhere on the WEB. I was also wondering if most DBA`s prefix the object names like "sp_" or suffix the object like "Customer_T"? Any opinions?

View 9 Replies View RelatedAre there common naming standards for SQL tables and stored procedures? I'm creating a table for target audiences and was going to set it up like this:
Target_Audiences
Target_Audience_ID

This table is really straight forward, but let me know if you would change anything. I want to use all of the most common naming standards throughout my database.
Hi All,
I have an assignment to change names of the SPs that are not following Standard naming convention in all databases. For this first I need to find out all the SPs that are not following naming convention. Can anybody help me in finding out the objects that are not following standard naming conventions. It is first step in completing this assignment. If anybody deal with this type of task before please guide me.
Hope any one of you will reply me with more information......
Thanks,

I am writing an client application that will be connected to data source. However, I do not know what the data source will be (could be mySQL, SQL Server Express, MS Access, ODBC, etc). I would like to write my data access queries using a standard that will be accepted by various data sources. What is such standard and where can I read more about it?

I would like to create a new database and follow some standard. I am hoping that there is some ANSI documentation or Microsoft documentation on a NAMING standard when creating objects in the database.i.e Table name "tblEmployees" Column name "txtLastName" Is there any GOOD documentation on creating a database using a PROVEN, and ACCEPTED standard?

Can anyone help me translate this statement from using the legacyouter joins to the SQL-92 standards?Select CA.* From Customer C, Shipper S, Customer_Order CO,Cust_Address CA Where CA.Customer_ID =* CO.Customer_IDand CA.Addr_No =* isnull(S.Ship_To_Addr_No,CO.Ship_To_Addr_No)and C.ID = CO.Customer_IDand (S.Shipped_Date between '1/1/2003' and '12/31/2003')Try as I may, I simply can't find a working left, right, or full outerjoin statement that would give me the same results as the abovestatement gives. I thought this was suppose to work but don't knowwhy it doesn't. Anybody care to try or perhaps tell me why thestatement below doesn't work:Select CA.* From Customer C, ((Customer_Order CO left outer joinCust_Address CA on CA.Customer_ID = CO.Customer_ID) left outer joinShipper S on CA.Addr_No =isnull(S.Ship_To_Addr_No,CO.Ship_To_Addr_No)) Where C.ID =CO.Customer_IDand (S.Shipped_Date between '1/1/2003' and '12/31/2003')Thanks,Tony

All:
One of the new tests that we are running have to do with load testing an application with a constrained network pipe. I like this. One of my beefs has been related to stored procedures that return bloated result sets. This new set of tests potentially gives me some more amunition to use when I review stored procedures. A piece that I would like to produce as a result of this has to do with establishing an output bandwidth standard for our database servers. I have a few biased ideas but I would like to know if any of you have any similar pre-existing standards along this line. Any help?

Hi,
Maybe I didn't search hard enough on BOL, but does Microsoft have a documented set of standards regarding custom component development for SSIS. Things like:
- extend this base class, implement this interface
- override these methods
- follow these naming conventions
- best practices
Thanks,

passing serialised objects to a stored procedure for the purpose of data inserts. I see this as being a way to handle multiple row inserts efficiently.
However, in my limited use of XML data I am not so sure how to link the data when I have a dependency on another "object" within the serialised XML.
Below is a code snippet showing what I have so far.
The first insert statement works fine - but how to retrieve the identifier created by the DB - I want to use an SQL statement that finds the record in the table based on the XML representation (of the PluginInfo), allowing me to insert the ConfigurationInfo with the correct reference to the PluginInfo
DECLARE @Config NVARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE @Handle AS INT
DECLARE @TransactionCount AS INT
SELECT @Config = '
<ConfigurationDirectory >
<ConfigurationInfo groupKey="Notifications" sectionKey="App.Customization.PluginInfo"
[code]....
I have an application that stores xml data in an unusal manor. Basically a SQL Key column and an XML string.The XML string is not really standard XML, but it is what it is, and I'm stuck with it. It is in the format;
<row key="Value.01" xml:space="preserve"><c1>FirstName</c1><c2>LastName</c2><c3>10 Street Address, City ST 012345-1234</c3><c4>5</c4><c5>50</c5><c6>500</c6></row>
I am able to pull values out via
SELECT
p.value('(./c1)[1]', 'VARCHAR(8000)') AS c1,
p.value('(./c2)[1]', 'VARCHAR(8000)') AS c2
FROM dbo.UserXMLTable
CROSS APPLY XMLRECORD.nodes('/row') t(p)
where p.value('(./c1)[1]', 'VARCHAR(8000)') like 'First%'
However I've been struggling with selecting row with a LIKE clause. Something like ;
SELECT *
FROM dbo.F_UserXMLTable
where XMLRECORD.value('(./c1)[1]', 'VARCHAR(8000)') like 'First%'
I have tried a number of permutations of XML syntax but so far have been stumpled.
Please note "<row key="Value.01" xml:space="preserve">" has a <SP> in the name 'row key' .
Does anyone know much about this tool? Also, if anyone can point me toa TSQL coding standard, please let me know.-- Dave
View 2 Replies View RelatedHaving a difficult time setting up a development environment and a set of standards for SSIS package development.
First of all, you can't run the dataflow object "SQL Server Destination" in BIDS because BULKCOPY can only be run from the actual server. So how do you test/debug a package with this object in it?
Second of all, if you create an SSIS package on a developer computer in BIDS, and then import it into the SSIS package store on your development SQL server, you can't run the package from Management Studio on the developer PC. You get the error "DTS_E_PRODUCTLEVELTOLOW" when it tries to run any of the SSIS. Do I have to have SSIS installed on the developer client machine? How do I do that without installing a full server instance on each client machine (not to mention the licsense issues)?
Lastly, what protection level would you suggest using for production? We are having issues with ODBC connection passwords being decrypted and thus package steps failing in using "EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey". What exactly does this protection level do? Our network is physically very locked down, so we arent worried about SSIS package security too much, just looking for a way for them to work reliably without having to setup complicated security scenarios.
thanks for your time.
Visual Studio provides IntelliSense and targeted standards compliance code checkers that are extremely useful when writing code. A good example is for web pages targeted to XHTML 1.0 transitional versus strict versus XHTML 1.1.
Is there anything comparable for SQL coding in any of the Microsoft products whether Visual Studio or SQL Server Management Studio or any other development environment?
I'm looking for IntelliSense that can be targeted to one of three alternative configurations: (1) ANSI SQL-92 only, or (2) ANSI SQL-99 only, or alternatively, (3) T-SQL with proprietary Microsoft features/functions (ie, not ANSI compliant in the sense that it is no longer portable per ANSI criteria - it will break when ported due to presence of Microsoft proprietary features/functions).
If standards targeted IntelliSense is not available in any of the Microsoft products for SQL development, is there any third-party product that provides this capability?
I was told that AES 128/SHA1 is supported for SQL Server Compact 3.5. The problem is that I couldn't find any product literature from Microsoft that specifies exactly that and my client wants us to provide proof on that.
I hope to get the endorsement from the forum here, and it would be great if someone could point me to some Microsoft resources that specifies the support clearly.
I am sure this questions have been asked but i was not able to find a useful information.
1. I am looking for a SSIS Standards document or source. A document developer can use for developing ssis package. This should include how to name each container, task , and how to organize things. Basics of SSIS. Is there some kind of source where i can find this information . We are starting out to migrate from informatica to SSIS but before we do that we would like to put standards in place so all SSIS development is consistent.
2. SSIS project documentation template that we can use to document each project. Is there anything out there that we can follow to document each of our project.
Hello, I have 2 tables: Articles and Users. These 2 tables are related by AuthorId (FK) in Articles and UserId (PK) in Users. My question is: should the use the same name for the 2 keys, i.e., UserId? Or it is normal to use AuthorId in Articles table and UserId in Users table. This makes more sense. Just a naming question. Thanks, Miguel
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhat does everyone think of this method?I have a ton of tables like User, Project etc. I use the SAME column names for each table. For an example, ID, Name, Status etc instead of UserID etc.Only for relationship naming will I use UserID.The reason I do this is from a OOP perspective.My dad often said that a table was a entitiy of an object and each record in the table was a instance of that object.

In our database tables are generated like
EMP_MASTER
DEPT_MASTER
like that. when we generate classes from database the class names are looking like
EmpMaster
DeptMaster
but for my classes that Master suffix is not required.
please solve my problem.

Would like to know what naming convention you folks use.
What I need specifically is column naming conventions.
For instance, I have a table called 'lst_as400_srvr'. We could go with the vigorous:
CREATE TABLE lst_as400_srvr
(
as400_srvr_idintNOT NULLIDENTITY,
as400_srvr_namevarchar(128)NOT NULL,
as400_srvr_is_activebitNOT NULLDEFAULT 1
)
Or, I could loosen the rules a bit and go with:
CREATE TABLE lst_as400_srvr
(
idintNOT NULLIDENTITY,
namevarchar(128)NOT NULL,
is_activebitNOT NULLDEFAULT 1
)
I would lean towards the vigorous because it would be very obvious what data is being referenced by the name. In the loosened version, I could very easily have many tables with a 'id' column or a 'is_active' column.
Inversely, I would lean towards the loosened version because the names are a lot shorter and, thus, easier / faster to type.
I figure, if I'm going to learn a new standard, now's a good time to do so.
So, thoughts? Appreciate the help folks. :)
I'm creating a new database for an application that I wish to sell in the future. When we sell it the client will have the option to host is or have us host it. I want to create a name for the database that doesn't describe what the product is. I also want to be able to create new databases if we host it and those names be of a similar convention or subject. I was thinking each would be a Greek god, galaxy names or something along those lines. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,

I'm coming from a MS Access background and so I'm very used to andcomfortable with the hungarian (Leszynski et al) naming conventions.However, I'm getting started into my first SQL Server Database andreally want to use the appropriate up to date standard namingconvention (ISO compliant).I think I have the general idea from raking though countlessconflicting sites and posts, but I'm a bit stuck on what to doregarding pk / fk namingFor example, in my MS Access world I would have two tables:tblOrders=======strOrderIDintCustomerIDdtOrderDate....tblCustomers==========intCustomerIDstrCustomerName....So what would the appropriate and most up-to-date and standard namingbe for SQL Server? My Guess:Orders=====Ord_Order_ID_PkOrd_Customer_ID_FkOrd_Order_Date....Customers========Cus_Customer_ID_PkCus_Customer_Name....How close (or far) am I from "Celko Proof" naming here?All help gratefully accepted!
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen I schedule a DTS package as a Job and then look in the job step detail I am presented with the following line.
DTSRun /~Z0x3A2210EB05CE1F9968C82E............etc

If I wanted to be sure that this code actually relates to the correct DTS package how can I check.
Is there a specific table that will hold that code that will relate it to the DTS package??
