Hey,
Does anyone know any place where I could find information on naming
guidelines for tables, fields, PKs etc ?

Ah, what do people think of a table that has 200, 300 fields in it
(considering all fields do relate to the table)? Should it be "split" into 2,
3 tables?
 
Hello Bruce,

Try to look for in the MSDN site. I remember that there were a general naming
convention.
BTW everything depends on DB, AFAIK Oracle, for example have a bit different
NC as SQLServer have
Try to google to find more appropriate to you.
