Table Naming Convention

The unified naming convention is desired by developers. And the same applies to the database space. Bytebase provides this rule to unify the table naming convention.

About convention format

Table Naming Convention uses regular expression as the format.

Some typical format

Name	Regular Expression
snake_lower_case	^[a-z]+(_[a-z]+)*$
CamelCase	^([A-Z][a-z]*)+$
lowerCamelCase	^[a-z]+([A-Z][a-z]*)*$
kebab-case	^[a-z]+(-[a-z]+)*$

How the rule works

Bytebase checks that all table names in DDL conform to the naming conventions.

Specifically, Bytebase checks:

• CREATE TABLE statements
• ALTER TABLE RENAME TO statements
• RENAME TABLE statements

Support database engine
