I’m currently working on a site which went through god knows how many developers’ hands. One of the things I don’t like about it is the way every table in the database has the prefix “tbl_” and every field “fld_”.
I’ve started work on a new feature and I’m faced with the following problem: should my new tables continue with the old convention, or not?
I guess I should, but I feel stupid doing it 🙂
I would keep the same convention.. Regardless of if it’s bad or not at least it would be consistent. And consistency will be very important to the next developer who gets ahold of the code.
