Introduction
This document provides a general overview of the Decision One Oracle
database environment, including information pertinent to the maintenance, support,
and recovery of the database instances. The database object naming conventions, and
software coding standards are described in detail to provide rules and guidelines for
developing database related applications.
Also included in this document is an overview of the password management
package used to catalog the database schema passwords. Additionally, a sample of the
database schema change request form as well as a snapshot of the database backup
schedule, for the Decision One Oracle database environment, are offered to provide
a look into the processes that keep the environment up-to-date and readily available.

Application Abbreviation
Hills (When – TDB)
An application abbreviation is a three-character code related to
a specific application that prefixes that application’s database

This document is property of DecisionOne, for internal use only. Page: 6

 objects as defined in this document.

Note: Throughout this document application abbreviation

will be abbreviated as “aa”.

Object Names
In general objects names should be kept as short as possible without losing their meaning.
This will accommodate the prefixes, and suffixes defined below.

Example: A table that contains employees could be shortened to EMPS.

Object Names Containing DecisionOne

If an object name will contain the company title “DecisionOne”, then DecisionOne”
will be shortened to “D1”.

Table Names
 Table names are plural.
 Table names will be prefixed with the application abbreviation.
 Underscores will be used to separate words in the table name rather than spaces.
 If a table name contains several words then only the last word will be pluralized.

Column Names
 Columns will be unique within the database schema, except in the case of foreign key reference columns (columns used in
the child table of a foreign key relationship may use the name of the primary key column(s) that make up the parent key of
the parent table).
 Column names will be singular.
 In cases of denormalization the column name may be made plural. The DBA assigned to the project will make this change
when it is appropriate.

This document is property of DecisionOne, for internal use only. Page: 7

 Primary Key Fields
 Primary key fields will be indicated by a postfix of _pk.
 The name of the primary key will be the singular form of the table name
(e.g. The table emp will have a primary key named emps_id_pk).

Index Names
 Name the primary key index as <aa>_<TableName>_pk.
(e.g. The table emps will have a primary key index called hrs_emps_pk)
 Name a unique key index as <aa>_<TableName>_uk.
 Name a non-unique key as <aa>_<TableName>_ak.
 When more indexes are added to the table, append a numeric to the name
(e.g. <aa>_<TableName>_[uk | ak]_<number>)

Constraints
 Primary and unique constraints will be explicitly named; they will not use a system-generated name.
 Name the Primary Key Constraint as <aa>_<TableName>_pk
(e.g. the table emps will have a primary key constraint named hrs_emps_pk).
 Name a Foreign Key Constraint referencing a single column primary key as <aa>_<TableName>_fk.
 When more foreign keys are added to the table append a numeric to the name
(e.g. <aa>_<TableName>_fk<number>).
 Check constraints will follow a naming standard, and will not be created using a system-generated name.

Views
 View names are plural.
 View names will be prefixed with the application abbreviation.
 Column names within views are singular except in the case where they have been denormalized for performance.
 Underscores will be used to separate words in the view names, rather than spaces.

Other Column Types

The table shown below defines the suffixes that are to be used based on expected content.

This document is property of DecisionOne, for internal use only. Page: 8

 Column Contents Suffix
Boolean Values _tf
Codes _cde
Address Line One Addr1
Address Line Two Addr2
City Names _cty
U.S. States _st
U.S. Zip Codes _zip
Nine Digit U.S. Zip Codes _zip9
+4 Section of U.S. Zip Codes _zip4
Monetary Amounts _amt or _usd

Packages
 Packages will be prefixed by the three character application abbreviation.
 Packages will have _pkg appended to their names.

Procedures and Functions

 Stored code defined in a package does not need to be prefixed with the application abbreviation.
 Stored code not contained within a package will be prefixed with the application abbreviation.

Role Definitions
 Role names will begin with the application abbreviation.
(i.e. <aa>_<RoleName>)

This document is property of DecisionOne, for internal use only. Page: 9

 Schema Owner
 The schema owner name should be a combination of the application abbreviation and the word “owner” (e.g. The HR
schema owner would be hrs_owner).

Sequences
 Sequence names will be prefixed by the three-character application abbreviation followed by the name of the table they are
generating a key for and append _seq to the table name (i.e. <aa>_<TableName>_seq).
(e.g. A sequence on the table emps will be named hrs_emp_seq)

Triggers
 Trigger names should begin with the application abbreviation followed by a meaningful name and finished with the trigger
type
(e.g. A “before insert for each row” trigger would be named <aa>_<MeaningfulName>_bifer).

Synonyms
 Synonym names should begin with the application abbreviation.
 Synonyms’ names should be identical to the objects they map to unless a valid reason can be presented for breaking this
rule.

Clusters and Materialized Views

 Clusters and Materialized views will adhere to the naming standards for tables.

Other Objects
All independent objects created in the database must be preceded with the application abbreviation. The DBA team will name
objects not currently defined in this document, but required by the application. The new standard will be added to this document.
Database Password Management
The passwords needed for access to the each of the databases are stored using
an Application called KeePass. The KeePass application can be found on the Q: drive
(Pnfphqs001\Data\Is\Shared) under the “DBA Admin/passwords” folder. In order to
obtain the password lists, run KeePass and select “open database” from the file menu.

This document is property of DecisionOne, for internal use only. Page: 10

 When prompted for the filename of the database, select the database.kdb file.
At this point, you will be prompted to enter a password, which is required for
access to the password list. Upon entering the correct password, a tree diagram appears,
displaying all of the servers that can be expanded to reveal the passwords for each of the
Decision One databases(as shown below).

Database Schema Change Request Form
Below is an example of the Database Schema Change Request Form. This form
must be submitted to an application DBA whenever a change needs to be applied to any
production database object such as a table, index, constraint, trigger, stored procedure, view,
or generally any object that can be created, altered, truncated, or dropped. In development
environments, changes to all of the aforementioned objects will require for this form to be
completed and submitted to an application DBA, with the exception of stored procedures
which may often require several attempts before compiling.
Database Backup Schedule
Shown below, is a sample sheet from the database backup schedule. The full schedule
is maintained in a Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet, and lists both the scheduled activities with
details about the backup configuration for each of the databases of the Decision One Oracle
Environment.
