Pluralization of database table names by SnappingTurtle 2005-09-12 02:00:41
Should table names be the plural of the type of things they list or singular. For example, should you name a table "sponsors" or "sponsor"? "stores" or "store"? "students" or "student"? "hepaticocholangiocholecystenterostomies" or... erm, well, you get the idea.

Opine.
