Column Naming Convention

Naming convention to use for Columns in the Dimensional Accelerator.

The convention formats the column names on Dimension and Fact objects the Dimensional Accelerator derives. Case sensitive options are Inherit, None, PascalCase, camelCase, Proper_Case, Proper Case, UPPER_CASE and lower_case. Inherit resolves through the Object Naming Convention, mirroring the Data Vault Accelerator's column-to-object inheritance; None replaces spaces with underscores without changing case.

When to Change This Setting​

Change it when column names should follow a different convention than the object names.
