How about you show me couple (say 5) of the database structures of the
applications that you have already written? I can go through it and get some
practical ideas.
The wizard convention is the following:
- table and field names are lower case
- table names have a t_ prefix
- field names have a f_ prefix
- reference fields have the same name as the table being referenced
(but with f_, not t_)
you can then use shortcuts:
Person = db.define_table('t_person',F
I'd be cautious about some of those field names. I'm not about to look them
up, but they look suspiciously like they may collide with reserved words.
I'm looking particularly hard at 'type' and 'text'. You may want to check
that.

i try to use pythonic naming conventions in my database.
i prefer:
db.define_table('address_type',
Field('name'))
db.define_table('contact',
Field('name'))
db.define_table('address',
Field('contact', db.contact),
Field('type', db.address_type),
Field('text'))
but perhaps mainly because i don't
General request for comments & corrections from the more experienced (than
me) programmers in this group please. I really don't want to be giving bad
advice. Anyway, on to the advice...
Rupesh,
In the end, it doesn't matter what scheme you use, as long as you find it
easy & your practices are con
I have seen that before. Its about python coding style.
I am trying to discuss database table and field naming style here.
Care to comment on the following table structure, please:
db.define_table('lu_address_type',
Field('name'))
db.define_table('contact',
Field('name'))
db.define_table('add
I like the python style guide here:
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/
has tips on naming conventions and such.
i personally don't prefix table names or field names. and i let web2py name
the primary key "id". most of the time my reference fields share the same
name as the table they r
I am trying to standardize my naming schemes for my database, table and
fields. I am trying to follow the one given below. Please share with me your
scheme.

Thanks a lot MARTIN for the nitpick. REALLY needed that!
Inspite of what you mentioned that you are relatively new to web2py, that
was a lot of help.
I don't know if other are going to help me out as much as you did. But since
you did take the trouble to pore through my code, I was hoping that
Thanks a lot for sharing the philosophy behind coding!!! I get the point.
Now for some *real* help by nitpicking at my coding!
