I would like having some input on the topic of Database Naming Conventions (=naming database objects). Are there any "de-facto" standards on this topic or?

Naming
databases
tables e.g. CUSTOMER, CUSTOMERS, customer, Customer, ... columns e.g. using underscores, using abbreviations, using mixed case, table name in front of column name, ...
indexes
stored procedures
primary/foreign keys, ...

All input very much appreciated.

Thanks.
