Naming Conventions
Jan 31, 2005Most of the programming I do is in Access. I like to use naming conventions for all my tables, queries, etc. I am now moving several databases to SQL Server. Does anyone know of a good resource for naming convetions in SQL Server. Website, book?

but for my classes that Master suffix is not required.
please solve my problem.

Naming Conventions
May 3, 2007I'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 6 Replies View RelatedVariables In The Four Naming Conventions
Apr 27, 2006Hi
I am running SQL Server 2000 and have two different databases with different names on two different machines.
The servers (machines) are linked and I want to use a single set of stored procedures on both databases.
I want to know if and how I can use variables in the four naming conventions in a stored procedure. This way I do not have to write an if statement and rewrite the code for each database.
Example:
Select * from SERVER_A.DATABASE_1.dbo.CENSUS
Eventually, I want SERVER_A and DATABASE_1 to become the variables that will change depending on which database that is being requested.
Any help would be appreciated.
Procedure Naming Conventions
Oct 31, 2006Hi,
Can someone give me a quick explanation of the naming conventions used in naming a procedure. I am referring to the way procedures are name for the system procedures. Most of them start as dbo.sp_xxx. I assume that sp stands for system procedure?
The reason I ask is that the company that I'm currently working on a project for has things like dbo.pv_xxx for parameterized for, dbo.up_xxx for udpating, dbo.d_xxx for deleting rows ...etc. The 'xxx' is a wildcard, those are not the actual names. The documentation they have is poor and I'm trying to figure out how/why they name their procedures the way they do.
Does it look like they are following industry conventions? Is the format for the name something like (schema).(return value)_(Action)(Name of Table), ie: dbo.up_AddUser?
Thank you.

FK Naming
Sep 28, 2007Hello, 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

Jun 18, 2006What 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.

DTS: Re-Naming Package
Jan 2, 2001I am using SQL Server 7 w/ SP2. This may seem silly, but I'm trying to re-name a DTS local package -- so far without success. Surely there's a way to do this. Also, where is DTS info stored? That is, how does SQL Server store package names and other details? Thanks!

Naming Convention
May 8, 2006Would 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. :)
SQL Database Naming
Jul 18, 2007I'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,

DTS Naming In Jobs
Oct 4, 2007When 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
This number means nothing to me and I presume it might be encoded or encrypted.
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??
Cheers

Class Method Is Smoking Fast When Executed Outside Of SQLServer, Dog Slow As A CLR Function Is SQLServer - Anyone?
May 10, 2007We have a static class that makes an HTTPWebRequest to get XML data from one of our vendors. We use this as input to a stored proc in SQLServer2005. When I compile this class and call it from a console application in visual studio it executes in milliseconds, everytime. When I compile it, create the assembly and clr function and execute it in SQLServer, it takes around 14 seconds to execute the first time, then on subsequent requests it is again really fast, until I wait for 10 seconds and re-execute, once again it is slow the first time and then fast on subsequent requests. We do not see this behavior when executing outside SQLServer. Makes me think that some sort of authentication is perhaps taking place the first time the function is run in SQLServer? I have no idea how to debug this further. Anyone seen this before or have any ideas?
Here is the class:
Code Snippet
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Net;
using System.IO;
namespace Predict.Services
{
public static class Foo
{
public static string GetIntradayQuote(string symbol)
{
string returnQuote = "";
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)(WebRequest.Create("http://data.predict.com/predictws/detailed_quote.html?syms=" + symbol + "&fields=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,28,30"));
request.Timeout = 1000;
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)(request.GetResponse());
StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
returnQuote = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
streamReader.Close();
response.Close();
return returnQuote;
}
}
}
When I run call it from a console app it is fine.
I compile it into a dll and then create the assembly and function as follows:
Code Snippet
drop function fnTestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS
go
drop assembly TestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS
go
create ASSEMBLY TestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS from 'c:DataBackupsCLRLibrariesTestGetIntradayQuote_SJS.dll' WITH PERMISSION_SET = EXTERNAL_ACCESS
go
CREATE FUNCTION fnTestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS(@SymbolList nvarchar(max)) RETURNS nvarchar(max) AS EXTERNAL NAME TestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS.[Predict.Services.Foo].GetIntraDayQuote
go
declare @testing nvarchar(max)
set @testing = dbo.fnTestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS('goog')
print @testing
When I execute the function as above, again, really slow the first time, then fast on subsequent calls. Could there be something wrong with the code, or some headers that need to be set differently to operate from the CLR in SQLServer?
Regards,
Skipper.
Problem Unicode Data 0x2300 In SQLServer 2000 SQLServer 2005 Express
Sep 20, 2006Hi experts;
I have a problem with unicode character 0x2300
I created this table
create table testunicode (Bez nchar(128))
Insert Data
insert into testunicode (Bez)values('Œ€„¢')
with 2 Unicode characters
Œ€ = 0x2300
„¢ = 0x2122
Selecting the data
select Bez from testunicode
I see
"?„¢"
„¢ = 0x2122 is ok but instead of 0x2300 there is 0x3f
When I modify the insert statement like that ( 8960 = 0x2300 )
insert into testunicode (Bez)values(NCHAR(8960)+'„¢')
and select again voila i see
"Œ€„¢"
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks
Trying To 'load' A Copy Of A SQLServer 2000 Database To SQLServer 2005 Express
Apr 18, 2008
I am trying to 'load' a copy of a SQLServer 2000 database to SQLServer 2005 Express (on another host). The copy was provided by someone else - it came to me as a MDF file only, no LDF file.
I have tried to Attach the database and it fails with a failure to load the LDF. Is there any way to bypass this issue without the LDF or do I have to have that?
The provider of the database says I can create a new database and just point to the MDF as the data source but I can't seem to find a way to do that? I am using SQL Server Management Studio Express.
Thanks!!

Mar 31, 2000Hi, can anyone help me with this strange problem?
I am trying to name a new SQL table, but I keep receiving a message that a table with this name already exists in the database. However, when I try to run a SELECT statement using that table, the error msg tells me the object does not exist,and it is not in the combobox of existing tables that can be added to a diagram.
Any clues would be appreciated, thanks !
Dynamic Table Naming From Sp
Sep 22, 2000Does anyone know if it is possible to create dynamically named tables from within a stored procedure? The goal is to append a unique identifier on the end of an otherwise static table name to allow for multiple incarnations of the table to exist concurrently while not interfering with each other. For example, we would like to create and use a temp table that is suffixed with a login name to or a timestamp to make it unique.
Is this possible?
Naming Standards For SQL Objects
Sep 2, 1998I 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 1 Replies View RelatedCluster: Instance Naming
Sep 3, 2007Hi all
SQL Server 2005 cluster. Active-Active. We want to create two instances. The two nodes are named:
mike-940-01
mike-940-02
I read somewhere that there can only be ONE default instance in a 2005 cluster. So I interpret that as meaning that I can only have one instance named after a virtual server (example: mike-940-03) and the other instance has to be a slashed instance (example: mike-940-03/instance1). But what if I create another virtual server (example: mike-940-04). Can I install a default instance in that server? Can someone help me clarify this?
Also, if I'm using all slashed instance names, then what does it choose as the base name before the slash? In other words, what decides which virtual server name is used? Is it the management node? Is it one of the nodes?
My objective is to keep consistency in the naming on the cluster. If I have to use slashed instances, then I want all sql server instances to have a slash.
Sorry about the confusing explanation, but that's probably a symptom of MY confusion.
Thanks!

Tables, Naming Problem
Feb 14, 2008Is there a good way to name tables that are used as lookup tables? If you have a table for movies and you think that a movie can be in more than one genre. Then you will have tables like the following.
a table for movies, table 1
id name ...
1 Scarface
a table for the movie genres, table 2
id name ...
1 action
2 mafia
a table that links the genres to the movies, table 3
id table 1 id table 2 id
1 1 1
2 1 2
Table 1 is no problem. I name it movie.
Table 2 is the genres. I name it movie_genres.
Table 3 specifies the genres for a specific movie so I name it movie_genres. Duh, already taken.
This is just an example and perhaps not the best. What should I call my to genre tables?
