Are 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
Target_Audience
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.
I am trying to establish the standards for naming convention in my new project. What are the best standards which worked.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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?

The Fields that I am going to use is the CPTCODES Field and the DOS FROM Field. How I was going to right my statement is below. Do I need to have a count or anything?
SELECT TOP 100 DOSFROM, DOSThru, CPTCODES
FROM VW_1000_Commonly_Billed_Charges
WHERE (DOSFROM >= @BottomDate) AND (DOSThru <= @TopDate)
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 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow do you name sql linked-servers in your company ?
we have many legacy systems (random naming), but mostly newer systems follow this pattern
<ENVIRONMENT><APPLICATION><FUNCTION><VIRTUAL><NUMBER>
e.g.
PRD-FAX-DB-V01, TST-PAY-WEB-P02 etc.
We have link-servers all over the place. The ideal naming convention should satisfy following:
- developers should not have to modify code when deploying between environments DEV->TEST->PROD. This rules out using actual server name as linked-name.
- the name should easily identify actual server without much mental translation. This rules out relevant but generic names like FAXSERVER or PAYSERVER
- also, if the name could state that it is a linked-server e.g starting with LINK_, it works when reading the code.
So, I was thinking the link-name should simply remove the environment :
e.g LINK_FAX_DB_V01
that way, on DEV box, the underlying sql data source could point to the dev server, while on test, it could point to test server etc. without having to change code, and also knowing which server it's pointing to by just adding a TST or PRD in front-of it.
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?

I have a linked server in SQL 2007 form SQL to DB2.(IBM)
If I write a distributed query from SQL to DB2 I get mt data returned.
ie:
select *
from openquery(Movex_Extranet,'Select * From mvxadta.ooline')
If I write a Query from SQL to DB2 using the 4-part naming convention linkserver.catalog.schema.object
then I also get my data returned.
ie:
select *
from MOVEX_EXTRANET.RCHASE5C.MVXADTA.OOLINE
My problem is with the Query Designer in SQL2007.
When I right click the first lot of code and select "Design query in editor"
The Designer GUI opens up and displays my table in graphical form with all columns selected - Great.
But When I repeat this for the code that uses the 4 part naming
The Designer opens up and displays the table but with no columns viewable or available for me to select ??
Anyone know what might be causing this to happen.
Is it a bug in SQL 2007 ??
I have tried linking the server using 2 types of providers ( One from Microsoft & one from IBM) but each time I still cannot see or choose columns in the designer using the 4part naming convention.
The 2 providers I tried where.
Microsoft OLE DB for ODBC Drivers.
IBM DB2 UDB for Iseries IBMDA400 OLE DB Provider
Any help greatly appretiated as I would really love to use the designer using 4part naming convention.
Apparently if you read this the it should work ?

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,
- Joel
Having 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 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.
I am currently in process of learning SQL Server. At the moment we have 2000 and 2005 versions. The 2000 versions are "vendor supported" and one of our systems techs was told by a vendor contact that the SQL Instance name and the Windows Server names should not have dashes or underscores in their names. The vendor contact noted that although SQL Server would install and run, there was "some feature" would not work. The vendor contact was unable to elaborate or name the "some feature" item to the system tech.
Currently, I am in process of setting up a Windows 2003 SQL Server cluster (2 nodes) where the server names have dashes in them. I am concerned that there might be an issue, but I have not found any reference to this item in the 2005 Installation and Setup Guides. The only reference I have come across was via a Google serch that referenced v7.0 of SQL Server running on Windows NT and that stated that dashes are allowed but no further mention of anything.
What I have in my "test", single server, environment that is running fine at the moment with no noted problems is the following:
Win2k3 server name: W2K3-TEST01 (dash in the name)
SQL Server Instance: CBS_TEST (underscore in the Instance name)
Are there any "hidden issues" that I should be aware of with these naming conventions for both SQL Server Instance and the Windows Server?
Thanks in advance.
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.
