  • Database Object Name (i.e. Table, Sequence, View, Index, Trigger, Package, Procedure, Function, Materialized View, Job, Type, Directory, Constraints, Synonyms and Tablespace ) should be meaningful. Example : Table Name "HRS_EMPLOYEE_PERSONNEL"
  • Column Name should be clearly defined and meaningful. Example : Employee_ID
  • Database Object name and Column name should not contain the Number and Special characters except "_" character
  • Constraints name should be clearly defined and must be used the prefix and suffix when creating the constraints
Constraints Name
Abbreviation Description Example
fk References (Foreign Key) hr_emp_empid_fk
uk Unique Key hr_emp_empid_uk
pk Primary Key hr_emp_empid_pk
ck Check hr_emp_empid_ck
nn Not Null hr_emp_empid_nn
  • Use the following prefix in Identifier/Variable naming conventions (Local Variable, Global Variable, Parameter Variable, Constant Variable)
Abbreviation Description Example Comment
k Constant k_mailhost Generic constant
g Variable g_loop_count Global (package-level) variable
v Variable v_loop_count Local variable
p Variable p_loop_count Parameter variable
  • Use the following prefix for scalar types that have aggregate data types.
Abbreviation Description Example
c Cursor c_employees
cp Cursor parameter cp_employee_id

  • The suffix is used to qualify the identifier further by documenting its usage. For example, the suffix denotes the type of parameter, whether IN, OUT, or IN OUT, or to show that a variable or parameter is also a table.
