Is there a standard for table and column names?

I see a lot of people use lowercase like itg_name1
and then others use uppercase ITG_NAME1
and yet others use Cap first letter Itg_Name1

Is there a standard???

try this on for size, I've seen some programs where the programmer wasn't consistent with the same VARIABLE!

As in a non case-sensitive programming language the programmer didn't use the same casing???

Correct Frantic. it was non case-sensitive, and I saw the same variable variously in all caps, all lower, camelcase, and a few with pseudo-random capitalization. It was very annoying to work on.
