I use camelCase in my code and database field names, etc, but with fields that have Id at the end, it always ends up being hard to read. For example, itemId, teacherId, unitId, etc. In these cases I consider breaking convention and writing itemID, teacherID, or unitID just for improved readability.
What do you do and what’s a general, best practice of dealing with this issue?
I do what I feel like. In general, your best practice is to err in favor of readability vs. compliance with some abstract standard.
Just be consistent.
