This is indeed the most important thing. The system I just laid out (that I use) in another e-mail is only useful to me insofar as I am consistent in sticking to it. Some other things to consider in being consistent, outside of the naming system itself: 1) Layout of your SQL statements in terms of indenting. 2) Capitalization of SQL command terms. 3) Full qualification of columns (e.g., CLIENTS.CLI_Fname instead of CLI_Fname).
