When assigning physical RDBMS object names to tables, columns, indexes, constraints, ets., keep in mind that different RDBMS products have different name lenght limits.
If your database design will target more than one RDBMS, you may need to choose whether to have different names for the same object, to accomodate different naming standards, or to adopt the lowest common denominator approach where all names conform to the most confining RDBS standard in your environment.
