ORACLE Copyright © 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.Design Tips + Use meaningful names. * Names cannot contain single quotation marks (‘); the Administration Tool prevents it. + Although permitted, avoid using double quotation marks (“). * Keep presentation object names unique: — Giving presentation columns the same names as presentation tables can lead to inaccurate results. — Uniqueness allows SQL statements to be shorter because qualifiers are unnecessary. * Group objects in meaningful ways. + Eliminate unnecessary objects to reduce confusion. + Use object description fields to convey information to users. + Keep names short to save space on reports.
