- Do not use reserved java words.
- Do not use spaces.
- Do not abbreviate.
- Do not use punctuation.
- Do not start the name with a number.
Here are our project guidelines for naming properties:
- Generally, do not abbreviate. The exceptions are SA, and SP, for when the name would
get too long if written as is. For example:
ServiceAgreement, as
part of a much longer field name.
- In line with the above, spell out
amount and
total.
- Boolean values (SW) are prefixed with
is, has,
can, are, or should,
according to what is grammatically correct.
- Date fields end with
Date.
- Time fields end with
Time.
- Datetime fields end with
DateTime.
- Id is spelled
Id.
- Do not include a final Flag (FLG) or Code (CD).
- Use
min instead of minimum, and max instead of
maximum.
- Can be generic. That is, for the field
BILL_​STATUS, you can just
name it status.
