Database naming conventions

Consider the naming conventions you use for databases, both for databases that you create for WebSphere Event Broker product and for databases that you create for application use.

Database tables used for brokers can be unique and local to the broker, or can be shared, because the rows of the tables specific to each individual broker incorporate the name of the broker. You might need to align the naming of all these databases with other databases that are in use in your broker domain.

Also ensure that the databases used for application data (accessed through message flows) are uniquely named throughout your network, so that there is no opportunity for confusion or error.
