Using Namespace and Naming Convention
Assuming your namespace is ROOT, use the following naming convention for your objects:
ROOT_<NAME_OF_OBJECT> (in upper case)
Use the naming conventions for database tables, user-defined fields, form and item IDs, delivered files, project files, and properties in projects, modules, forms, and classes.
Use your namespace for more than one solution by using an organizational rule to ensure unique names. For example, use the enhanced prefix ROOT_S1_ for one project, ROOT_S2_ for another project, and so forth.
Note
In the database, the actual name of user-defined fields is the name you supply and the prefix U_. If the UDF name is ROOT_MYUDF, then the actual name in the database is U_ROOT_MYUDF.
In the database, the actual name of user-defined table is the name you supply and the prefix U_. If the UDT name is ROOT_MYUDT, then the actual name in the database is U_ROOT_MYUDT.
