What was the strangest coding standard rule that you were forced to follow? [closed]

Answer 1

At a former job:

• "Normal" tables begin with T_
• "System" tables (usually lookups) begin with TS_ (except when they don't because somebody didn't feel like it that day)
• Cross-reference tables begin with TSX_
• All field names begin with F_

Yes, that's right. All of the fields, in every single table. So that we can tell it's a field.
