Object Naming Convention

Naming convention to use for the Dimensional Accelerator.

The convention formats the names of 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 delegates to the Data Vault Accelerator naming convention, so both accelerators name objects consistently; None replaces spaces with underscores without changing case.

When to Change This Setting​

Change it when the Data Mart should follow a different naming convention than the Data Vault — for example PascalCase dimension names over an UPPER_CASE vault.
