Howdy, I've been developing in MySQL for some time now, but as I go along I've noticed that my naming conventions have changed dramatically, and I was wondering if there is like a set of guidelines or something I could take a look at. A set of standards, if you will, for naming conventions of fields in tables in MySQL databases.
For example, using all lowercase for field names, separating words with underscores, or not, and whether to use a descriptive auto_increment id (such as userid, newsid) or if to just use "id" for every table. Any discussion on this is much appreciated.
