Mysql Naming Convention

[Garth Hill]

 > I was wondering if there is a mysql naming convention for tables and 
columns ... Is there a right or wrong way to do it ?

Simple answer: plural=wrong

Why?  irregular plurals.  I mean, maybe you don't have an abstracted way 
to find the id based on the table name, but if you ever did, you're 
hosed (addresses=addresse_id?).  Also, if you think of the table in a 
pseudo-class way, then the class name would be singular, a blueprint for 
the objects (records).

Just my thoughts.  I doubt there's an official standard somewhere.
