Naming rules in database

Database involves character rules

It is composed of 26 English letters (case sensitive) and ten natural numbers from 0 to 9, plus the underscore _, for a total of 63 characters. No other characters (except comments) may appear.

Database object naming rules

Database objects include tables, views (queries), stored procedures (parameter queries), functions, and constraints. The object name consists of a prefix and the actual name, and the length does not exceed 30 characters. Prefix: Use lowercase letters.

For example: table-tb view-vi stored procedure-sp function-fn

Actual name

The actual name should try to describe the content of the entity and consist of words or combinations of words. The first letter of each word should be capitalized and other letters should be lowercase. It should not start with numbers or _.

For example: table User_Info view UserList stored procedure UserDelete

Therefore, the legal object names are similar to the following.

Table tbUser_Info, tbMessage_Detail

View vi_MessageList

Stored procedure sp_MessageAdd

Database table naming rules

Field consists of prefix and actual name. The system tries to use the same word as the first word in the actual name.

Prefix: Use the lowercase letter tb to indicate a table.

For example: tbMember　tbMember_Info　tbForum_Board　tbForum_Thread1

Field naming rules

Numbers, characters, date/time, lob (large object), miscellaneous, fields are composed of the abbreviation of the table, underscore, and the actual name plus a suffix.

Suffix: Use lowercase letters to represent the attributes of the field.

For example: 　User_Idint　　User_Namestr　　User_RegDatedtm

View Naming Rules

The field consists of the prefix and the actual name, connected by an underscore.

Prefix: Use the lowercase letter vi to represent the view.

For example: vi_User　　vi_UserInfo

Stored procedure naming rules

The field consists of the prefix and the actual name, connected by an underscore.

Prefix: Use lowercase letters sp to indicate stored procedures.

For example: sp_User

Database design document rules

All database designs should be written in documents, and the documents should be expressed in modular form. The general format is as follows:

　'------------------------------------------------

　　Table name: tbUser_Info　

　　Created by: UAM_Richard

　　Date: 　2004-12-17

　　Version: 　1.0

　　Description: Save user information

　　Specific content:

　　UserId　int, auto-increment User code

　　UserName　char(12)　User name

　　……

　'-------------------------------------------------

Naming rules in CSS classes and ids

　 Web developers can create CSS classes and id names and use these names to identify divs and other formatted page elements. For developers, when naming CSS selectors that redefine XHTML tags (tags), they must ensure that they accurately match the predefined tags, but when it comes to class and id selector names, it is a matter of opinion. However, it is not a good habit to name these classes and IDs as you wish.

1. Intuitive naming

When designing a web page and need to identify a div, the most natural idea is to name it using words that can describe the location of the element on the page.

For example: top-panel

　 Horizontal-nav

　Left-side

　center-column

　　right-col

These are valid ways of naming CSS and XHTML classes and ids. These terms are simple and descriptive, thus meeting the need to identify page elements and their corresponding CSS styles.

But the problem is that such a name is associated with a specific expression of the page content. These names refer to the position of page elements within a specific page layout, so their use outside of such a layout would be inappropriate or even confusing. These names have no reference to the structure of the document content. Therefore, here is a better way to name CSS classes and IDs.

2. Structured naming

These are valid ways of naming CSS and XHTML classes and ids. These terms are simple and descriptive, thus meeting the need to identify page elements and their corresponding CSS styles. These are valid ways of naming CSS and XHTML classes and ids. These terms are simple and descriptive, thus meeting the need to identify page elements and their corresponding CSS styles.

Tagged related information is used to describe the structure of the document rather than its appearance. This feature allows us to reuse content and markup in different appearance formats by simply changing CSS. When you understand this method, it is easy to find that using page position to name classes and ids is very inappropriate when dealing with appearance formats such as audio. Therefore, classes and ids should be structured and named based on their purpose in the document rather than where they appear.

You can name classes and id names in a structured way as shown below:

Example: branding

　Main-nav

　subnav

　Main-content

　 Sidebar

These names are as easy to understand as intuitive naming methods, but they describe the role of page elements rather than their location. This makes the code more consistent with the original intention of using pure structural markup, that is, developers can handle display formats in various media without changing the markup.

Even if you don’t plan to format your web pages in other media, using structured naming can help you make future site upgrades or redesigns easier. For example, structured naming avoids confusion when a div with the same id right-column is moved to the left side of the page. Naming the div sidebar this way is more appropriate because no matter which side of the page it appears on, the name is still intuitive and easy to understand for developers.

3. Convention

Andy Clarke analyzed the source code of 40 Web sites designed by developers who advocated standardized Web design concepts. Although the class and id names are very inconsistent, some common names that appear frequently are still found. An example list of the most commonly used class/id names is given here:

For example: header

　content

　nav

　 Sidebar

　footer

3. Member-based naming convention

Member-based naming convention refers to naming files and folders through classification according to their affiliation, which can make the arrangement of files more logical.

For example: a picture file is "file_on" before the mouse click. And the picture file after clicking is named "file_off" according to this category. It is more clear.

4. Attribute-based naming convention

For example: small decorative pictures are represented according to "___.*". This one is "heart_red_401*334_1.jpg"

5. Naming convention based on ordinal numbers

In web pages, in order to reduce the download time of images, the images are usually divided into small parts to form an overall image. In this case, you can use a two-dimensional array to name it.

For example:

This picture is "donghua_11.jpg"

This picture is "donghua_12.jpg"

This picture is "donghua_21.jpg"

This picture is "donghua_22.jpg"

These form a picture.

6. Enumeration-based naming convention

The first one is "ddd_cemian.jpg" on the side of the book

The second one is the book cover "ddd_fengpi.jpg"

The third one is "ddd_fengdi.jpg" on the back cover of the book

Some websites also have different sizes for viewing pictures, which can be viewed according to the user’s wishes.

For example: "ddd_cemian_401*334.jpg" and "ddd_cemian_1024*768.jpg"

These are for your reference when building a website.

To avoid code conflicts (which will also make your code more versatile), use naming conventions. This is a good programming habit. Okay, here are some commonly used rules.

◆Name variables, methods, and properties

The first letter of the names of variables, methods, and properties should be capitalized, and the names should express their purpose (or meaning).

Variables

.NET naming

Hungarian naming

Description

Cstring

EmployeeName

szName

Name of an employee.

Int

AttendanceCounter

nCounter

A counter of type long.

Long

NumberOfBytes

lBytes

A long type variable stores bytes.

Sometimes we are used to using underscore "_" in definitions, for example: Add_Data(int a, int b). According to the new naming rules, this is not a good programming habit, although it is not wrong. You should change the definition of Add_Data to AddData. These are not Microsoft standards, and you are not required to follow these rules. However, in some places you will understand the rationale of these laws below.

Personally, I prefer Hungarian nomenclature. Of course, the same rules apply to variables. If you remember the Hungarian nomenclature, a Boolean variable definition starts with "b", for example:

BOOL bFlag = TRUE;

The new rule deprecates the use of Flag and "b":

bool IsFileFound = true;

You can browse MSDN, where there are more instructions about the new rules.

◆Named components and collections (Assemblies)

To avoid code conflicts, it is a good programming habit to name your library (called assembly in .NET) according to the naming convention. Suppose you are from the MindCracker company and you are developing a library for extending the C# database class. It is much better to name it MindCracker.DatabaseAssembly.ADOSet than MyAssembly.Database.ADOSet.

Assume again that your library has a method that reads data from a table and returns a data set. If you named it DataSet return_data(), change it to DataSet ReturnData().

You should also follow a consistent word order in naming. For example, if you have two tables, Employee and Manager, and you define a method for each of them to insert a record into the table, then the method names AppendEmployee and AppendManager are better than AppendEmployee and ManagerAppend.

I prefer the two methods, because it is easy to understand a block structure and nested block structure.

◆Hungarian nomenclature (efoxxx attached)

Hungarian nomenclature was invented by a Hungarian programmer, and he worked at Microsoft for many years. This nomenclature is spread through various Microsoft products and documents. Most experienced programmers, no matter what language they use, use it to some extent

The basic principle of this nomenclature is:

Variable name = attribute + type + object description

That is, a variable name is composed of three parts of information. In this way, programmers can easily understand the type and purpose of the variable, and it is easy to remember.

Below are some examples of recommended rules. You can choose to use them, or you can modify them according to your personal preferences.

⑴Attribute part:

Global variable: g_

Constant: c_

Class member variable: m_

⑵Type part:

Pointer: p

Handle: h

Boolean type: b

Floating point type: f

Unsigned: u

⑶Description part:

Initialization: Init

Temporary variable: Tmp

Destination object: Dst

Source object: Src

Window: Wnd

We will introduce the Hungarian nomenclature, and we will try our best to adhere to it and the above coding style in the following examples. Again, not all readers are required to abide by it, but I hope that readers as modern software developers will abide by it.

a Array Array Array

b BOOL (int) Boolean (integer)

by Unsigned Char (Byte) Unsigned Char (Byte)

c Char Character (byte)

cb Count of bytes Count of bytes

cr Color reference value Color reference value

cx Count of x (Short) The set of x (short integer)

dw DWORD (unsigned long) Double word (unsigned long integer)

f Flags (usually multiple bit values) Flags (usually multiple bit values)

fn Function

g_ global

h Handle Handle

i Integer Integer

l Long Long integer

lp Long pointer Long pointer

m_ Data member of a class Data member of a class

n Short int Short int

p Pointer Pointer

s String                                       

sz Zero terminated String A string ending with 0

tm Text metric Text rules

u Unsigned int Unsigned integer

ul Unsigned long (ULONG) Unsigned long integer

w WORD (unsigned short) Unsigned short integer

x,y x, y coordinates (short) Coordinate value/short integer

v void void

The following is an example:

hwnd: h means handle, wnd means window, together they are "window handle".

m_bFlag: m represents member variables, b represents Boolean, which together means: "A member variable of a certain class, of Boolean type, is a status flag."

C# .net naming convention

A good naming convention is so hard to find, so it’s better to keep one yourself

Naming rules in .NET

Naming of namespaces

The general rules for naming namespaces are as follows:

　CompanyName.TechnologyName

In this way, the namespace we see should look like this:

　Microsoft.Office

　　PowerSoft.PowerBuilder　　　　　　　　　　　

　Note: This is just a principle. Third-party companies may choose other names.

　Avoid using the name of a company or other well-known brand as the prefix of a namespace. This will cause the possibility that two published namespaces will have the same name.

　For example: Name the Office automatic class provided by Microsoft Microsoft.Office

Use Pascal capitalization and separate logical components with commas.

　For example: Microsoft.Office.PowerPoint

If your brand uses non-traditional capitalization, be sure to follow the capitalization style determined by your brand, even if it deviates from the usual namespace capitalization rules.

　For example: NeXT.WebObjects

　　ee.cummings

Naming of classes and class components

　The naming principle of classes is to name classes with nouns or noun phrases, using Pascal capital letters. Reduce the use of abbreviations in class names. Do not use any class prefix (such as C) and do not use underlined characters.

　For example: public class FileStream {}

　　 public class Button {}

　　 public class String {}

Common naming of CSS classes and IDs:

Website head: head/header (head) top (top) navigation: nanv navigation specific distinction: topnav (top navigation), mainnav (main navigation), mininav (mini navigation), textnav (navigation text), subnav (sub Navigation/secondary navigation)

Flags, advertisements and trademarks: logo (flag), brand (trademark), banner (slogan)

Search: sreach(search), sreachbox(search box), sreachbtn(search button), sreachinput(search input box)

Registration and login: login (login), regsiter (registration), userbox (text box for username/pass), password (password)

Layout, columns and boxes: layout (layout), bigdiv (big div), leftdiv (left column), rightdiv (right column), leftfloat (left floating), rightfloat (right floating), mainbox (), subpage (Sub page/secondary page)

Footer/bottom: foot/footer (footer/bottom), copyright (copyright information), sitemap (site map)

Others: content, skin, title, from, pic, news, shop, list, newslist ), downloadlist (download list), piclist (picture list), dropmenv (drop-down menu), cor/corner (rounded corners), homepage (homepage), crumb (current location navigation)

In fact, I often use uppercase and lowercase letters and _ to distinguish the above ID naming. For example, the main navigation is MainNav. If it is necessary to distinguish, it is MainNav_1, MainNav_2, etc. You can also use the rule of "type + variable name" to name it, for example, write a class in red font, you can

.f_red {}(f is the abbreviation of font). In short, the principle is: capitalization, _, and abbreviations greatly enhance the readability of the code.

In addition, I often use the "in" writing method to name the child divd, which is written in + parent div. This can avoid not knowing how to name the subsequent div after naming it in the front. For example, intop, inbox, infrom, inlogin, etc.
