I am using django and making a system similar to job portal or linkedin or a community of professionals. So there are 2 tables/models other than auth_users, one is company while I am confuse about other model name. Should I name it Professional or Person? If I choose name professional than db table name can be professionals while if I name it person then table name will be "people" (plural of person)? How exactly I should name my models and what should I do if I name it like "Person" and plural of it is totally different word? How excatly should I name models and dbtables while professional and person both seems to be fine for model name. I know django or any framework will accept any model name but what is better approach? I will be using "Professional" through out the site but there will also be students who will be making a personal/professional account so person seems to be more generic term in real meanings. So please advise.

I think that table names should not be in plural. That said and since your db will contain students too, Person I think is the best option. Imho table/schema definition is more important than table names. In the end the table name doesn't matter that much.

In table schema, it has most of things of professional other than one field named "is_student", may be later on I will add more fields about students but not right now – Hafiz Apr 07 '12 at 21:49
