>> as long as your entire schema is named consistently throughout, do

things the way you want them done. odds are you will be the one
maintaining the database, and you'll have the documentation on how
things work. so do things that make the most sense in your current
situation. <<

No.  Write code as if **someone else** had to maintain it and their last
name is "Gotti" and they have your home address.  Make your naming
conventions follow ISO standards and use all the other industry
standards you can find.  Think about your system as part of a global
community, not as just a "current situation" -- that what the difference
between amateur and professional code.

constraints, Declarative Referential Integrity, datatypes, etc. in your
schema are.
