What are naming conventions for MongoDB?

Question

Is there a set of preferred naming conventions for MongoDB entitites such as databases, collections, field names?

I was thinking along these lines:

• Dat

Answer 1

I think it's all personal preference. My preferences come from using NHibernate, in .NET, with SQL Server, so they probably differ from what others use.

• Databases: The application that's being used.. ex: Stackoverflow
• Collections: Singular in name, what it's going to be a collection of, ex: Question
• Document fields, ex: MemberFirstName

Honestly, it doesn't matter too much, as long as it's consistent for the project. Just get to work and don't sweat the details :P
