How to name Tables & Fields (pk - fk) ?

SQL Apprentice Question
Do you have any suggest or guide lines to help me to understand the better
way for naming tables & fields ?

Normally, I name the pk of all tables with : ID and the fk with :
ID+TableName


Example:


Table: Authors
id (pk)
AuthorName


Table: Book
id (pk)
idAuthor (fk)
Title


It's correct ?

Columns are not fields -- major difference!.

Look at the ISO-11179 Standards for metadata and data element names.
The basic priniciple is to name a thing for what it is, not how it is
used, where is located or how it is stored.


I have an entire book, SQL PROGRAMMING STYLE on this topic, with rules
and guide lines.

Completely wrong
1) you have TWO names for the same data element
2) the word "id" is a modifier for an attribute. Identifer of what??
3) you avoid any industry standards -- use ISBN and not "book_id"
