Opinion: Singular vs Plural Table Names in SQL Server
There is a near-religious debate in the development and DBA communities about singular and plural table names. It’s pointless rehashing all the arguments but I want to spell out what I do, and why.
What’s driving this post is that I had a developer tell me that I was doing it inconsistently because even though I generally use plural names, that he found a table where I used a singular name. He thought this was inconsistent. It’s not, and this is why.
