## Table naming conventions

Pluralised => 
* User[object] becomes `users` table name
* Person[object] becomes `people` table name

Join Tables =>

Complicated but done by comparing the two table names as strings -> http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Associations/ClassMethods.html#method-i-has_and_belongs_to_many


## Column naming conventions

There will always be `created_at` and `updated_at` *datetime* columns for timestamps

Foreign keys are the singular version of the relation with `_id` suffixes

*date* columns have `_on` suffixes
*datetime* columns have `_at` suffixes
*time* columns (referring to a time of day with no date) with _time suffixes

See reserved column names, such as `type` !
