Constraint Naming Conventions

Are there any generally accepted naming conventiond for Constraints.

I intend to use PK, FK, IX etc to describe Primary Keys, Foreign Keys etc. However, I have seen two books with different conveentions.

One uses PK etc. as a prefix the other as a suffix.

Book 1.

xxxxx_PK

the other

PK_xxxxxx

Presumably one makes it easy to group constraints by type, the other by Object.
