I’ve been looking for Database naming conventions and i haven’t been able to find any official conventions from the Major companies.
Every other question on SO and many other IT Forums are answered with personal experience from the community, but this always lead to subjective discussions. (I know this very question may be considered subjective or argumentative, but i was hoping that someone out there knows where to find this document or the reason why it doesn’t exist.)
Is there any place where i can find an official naming conventions document?
Is there a reason for this not existing?
Are you looking for guidelines from the software vendors? Microsoft for example:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms229002.aspx
More generally, take a look at ISO standard 11179 for some very good guidance on naming.
