I find it hard to take anyone seriously who makes life harder for themselves for no good reason . Different strokes.


The camel-casing makes life hard because any manual queries you write, you need to quote the names AND uppercase certain letters, as well as the fact its just inconsistent.


You should get in the habit of quoting identifiers in pg anyway as there are so many reserved words.


I imagine most people using this will rarely write a manual query. ORMs are extremely common in JS land these days. I don’t like it, but to each their own.


I imagine that the people who use CamelCase table names will one day make some analysts and data scientists very sad, assuming the company they work for grows large enough to hire them.
