mysql - Data model. ¿Pluralize or not pluralize the names of the tables? -

-

hello everyone. whenever start develop new data model application have same question:

is convenient pluralize names of tables?

where table stored, example, users; call 'users' or 'user'?

i not pluralize, because data model, generated entities orm , seems more correct instantiate new 'user' new 'users'.

i know think it.

greetings all!

i guess depends on going use database for:

i not pluralize, because data model, generated entities orm , seems more correct instantiate new 'user' new 'users'.

but don't give information regarding language use besides sql, framework, tools.

i best conform standards of framework or orm, instance in .net entity framework tables generated singular notation , class names map these tables singular well, whereas in ruby on rails activerecord generated pluralized in database mapping classes singular.

there no better way think but, if data application ever going more important application (as in, may migrate framework or language different) or if there going others working directly on database (people doing reports, dba's, analysts etc.) i'd suggest make tables plural database people more keen use way.

if think @ database level pluralizing makes sense, users table going have more 1 user, , on , forth. why want store data in table fashion if weren't going store more 1 record same structure? makes sense pluralize.

if create array type of data in x language, let's say, users, don't call useryou call users probably, because may contain more one, if store 1 thing on initially.

so reasoning behind why pluralize table name approach, besides, can setup mappings in orm if pluralizing breaks convention can set user class maps users table instance.

update: here discussion on stackexchange's dba make point regarding joint associations

asp.net mvc - breakpoint on javascript in CSHTML? -

-
i have .cshtml file has javascript tag. within script tag have few lines of javascript. first line of javascript refers property in @viewbag. other javascript lines plain script without mvc related references. observation: can place breakpoints (visual studio 2015) on each of these javascript lines. however, breakpoints has white dot in center of breakpoint symbol (red circle) except line @viewbag reference (this particular line not have white dot in center). it seems breakpoint without white dot hit during run-time. question: can explain going on here? white dot mean? why plain red breakpoint line line hitting breakpoint? the visual studio debugger expecting debug actual server-side code within .cshtml file opposed client-side javascript within it. iirc, visual studio allow debug javascript code expected in internet explorer (and possibly edge), other browsers want use either third-party tool or developer tools (f12) within browser. an easy approach take advant...
