Warning

Always follow naming conventions for record fields.

Rule Details

Severity Level: Minor
Quality Area: Maintainability
Fixing times: 60 mins
Other
Database Support: OracleDB (v7.3.4 +)

Reason

PL/SQL identifiers share the same namespace as SQL identifiers. Follow naming conventions to prevent naming conflicts, improve readability, and clearly indicate the scope without forcing the use of qualified names. A common practice is to use a prefix and/or suffix to distinguish the identifier types.

Example

Non-Compliant Example

declare
   type r_dept_type is
      record(
         numéro_de_département number,
         nom                   varchar2(30 char)
      );
begin
   null;
end;
/

Issues

Line	Column	Message
4	10	field numéro_de_département does not match '(?i)^[a-z0-9$#_]+'.

We do not want accented letters in field names.

Compliant Solution - ★★★★★

declare
   type r_dept_type is
      record(
         numero_de_departement number,
         nom                   varchar2(30 char)
      );
begin
   null;
end;
/

All accented letters are replaced with plain Latin letters.
