Database naming Standards

  • Ok we have lots of standards where i work and I have seen lots of other developers and DBA standards but what I want is the naming standard for the actuall Database ..not the tables or other objects.

    Why ?

    Ingress DBA's whish to take over SQL work in our organisation and want everyone to use Ingress standards ie a seven letter code.

    eg

    LAPDDDB

    LA =  Section Owner of Database

    PD = The two letter designation of the application name eg DP Data Products

    D = Development Database

    DB = Database

    Ingres on a Unix system allows for only 8 characters for a database name

    Anything in best practices which discourages using a code instead of meaning full names for databases.
