In the past weeks we learned about proper code etiquette when structuring your code. Most of our focus was on java methods and classes, and how to name and structure them so that other developers could better understand our code. Re-establishing the basics of clean code was an essential part of our studies in programming, but it got me thinking about other languages. How do the rules of clean code manifest in different coding languages, and what quirks do other languages have that force them to follow different rules? For the most part, when it comes to object-oriented programming the rules are consistent across languages and do not really need any modification. ‘Keep It Simple Stupid’ and ‘Don’t Repeat Yourself’ are principles that hold merit regardless of if you are using Java or C++. Keep code separated by whitespace and indented to create sections of code unified in their purpose, name variables and functions with their purpose clearly displayed, and keep each function’s purpose simple. All these rules and practices are practically universal and have helped to inform countless developers to create much more readable code. When it comes to languages outside this paradigm, however, the rules take a bit of a shift. 

     SQL is a database language with different rules regarding how it functions and thus has its own etiquette. For instance, CamelCase is discouraged in naming conventions due to its difficulty being scanned quickly. Abbreviations should be avoided; you want to be able to tell exactly what is in each table and column. A proper column name should look something like ‘first_name’ or ‘ customer_id’, using only lowercase, joined by an underscore. There are also common suffixes that are used in relational databases, such as _id, _name, and _size. These are due to certain columns being commonplace in databases, sometimes serving a specific purpose like id. Speaking of id, it is a common suffix because it is bad practice to only name a column ‘id’. Indentation and white spaces, on the other hand, are implemented quite similarly to object-oriented programming. Keep queries separated by white spaces, and indent JOIN statements to create readable sections of code. To be honest, in my database class I have not really been able to use any of these rules, and my code tends to be simple. Though I think in the future learning these other rules will serve me better and make me a better, more well-rounded developer. You can find all of the practices in the etiquette and style guides below.
