Conisdering the naming conventions of ActiveRecord tables…
I have a parent table called “Jobs” and a child table to it called
“JobItems” which holds the line items on any give “Job” that we process.
Now I’m dealing with the Invoice table, which is a Parent-type of table
(“Invoices”), and I have an “InvoiceItems” child that is related to it.
However, in some ways, each Invoice is also a child record to a Job.
(Some Jobs build up multiple Invoices if we do progress billing of
partial shipments).
So, one could argue that the “Invoices” table should be named
“JobInvoices”, and the child invoice items would go in a table name
“JobInvoiceItems”.
So…
Invoices and InvoiceItems
or
JobInvoices and JobInvoiceItems
Which way is the accepted way?
