Could Esri provide recommendations in the documentation regarding GDB object naming conventions?
Examples:
- Prefix so that like-objects will be sorted together in Catalog:
- ROAD
- ROAD_EVENTS
- ROAD_INSPECTIONS
- Plural vs singular: “ROAD” vs. “ROADS”.
- Text case: all caps, title case, etc.
- Underscores or no underscores.
- Suffix database views with “_VW”.
- Suffix tables/FCs that are generated/loaded by a scheduled job as “_SKD”, or something like that.
- Use feature datasets where applicable.
- Indexes: use a “_IDX” suffix or "IDX_" prefix.
- Other?
