I haven't been following along too closely on this thread, but I have to say that I actually like camelcase (or should that be CamelCase?) as I find it more readable that separating words with underscores.

However, having said that, the need to use double quotes to retain CamelCase (sorry!) in databases/SQL/PL-SQL is a monumental PITA and is seriously best avoided.

I think there are two things that conspire to give me grief in the database world:

  • The standard for surrounding case sensitive identifiers in double quotes;
  • Vendors and/or developers who use tools for database "design" and who don't know how to turn off the default setting of "wrap everything in double quotes regardless"
  • Java.

(Ok, three things!)
(Ok, at *least* three things!)

So, while I use CamelCase in many places, and save myself a character every time I don't use an underscore - handy when name length is limited - I am able to work to whatever standards are in force wherever I happen to be contracting at the time.

Just my £0.02.

And finally, I haven't got a clue what Joel said!
