Database Standards HELP!

I would like to create a new database and follow some standard. I am hoping that there is some ANSI documentation or Microsoft documentation on a NAMING standard when creating objects in the database.
i.e Table name "tblEmployees"
Column name "txtLastName"

Is there any GOOD documentation on creating a database using a PROVEN, and ACCEPTED standard?

Hi HotChick -

I always rebel and do whatever I want.......but, here is a pretty decent link:http://vyaskn.tripod.com/object_naming.htm

|||The accepted standard is ISO 11179. http://metadata-standards.org/Document-library/Draft-standards/11179-Part5-Naming&Identification/
