Re: Abbreviate Oracle Table Names?

Gary,

I agree 100% with your comments. Regarding your questions about view names.... I just finished compiling some Data Warehousing Standards for a client of mine. For them, we decided that we should *not* put a _VW suffix at the end of the view name . How the data is stored is irrelevant to the 'average' end user. Of course, the fact that it is a view should be well documented in the user's guide, as well as in the View Comments in the data dictionary.
