Custom Database Objects or Out of the Box Deltek Objects?

I was running through a list of stored procedures and tables in our Vision database this morning, and I was trying to find some of our custom objects. Like many Deltek clients, we have built custom applications that run within Vision and or use the Vision dataset in a new/better way. While looking around, I got lost very quickly.

If you have many custom tables/stored procedures or are planning on creating custom apps within your Vision database, I would suggest that you consider the idea of creating a seperate schema for those objects to live in.

This is greatly helpful in many ways. A seperate scheman allows you to quickly see which database objects are out of the box and provided by Detlek and which ones have been created specifically for your instance/company. Furthermore, depending on how granular you wish to get, you can create schemas for different applications that run within you Vision database, or you can come up with a naming convention for you tables and stored procedures that furthere deliniate there purpose.

Enjoy......
