Inconsistency (code vs. id) of naming foreign key and referenced candidate key columns

Back to Catalog
Goal Naming of foreign key and referenced candidate key columns should be consistent. It cannot be so that in one table a value is labeled "id" like some surrogate key value and in another it "turns" into human-usable "code" or vice versa. An example:

Person(person_id, name)
Primary Key (person_id)

E_mail_address(e_mail_address_id, person_code, address)
Primary Key (e_mail_address_id)
Foreign key (person_code) References Person (person_id)
Type Problem detection (Each row in the result could represent a flaw in the design)
Reliability High (Few or no false-positive results)
License MIT License
Fixing Suggestion Rename the columns. In case of the example: Person(person_id, name)
Primary Key (person_id)

E_mail_address(e_mail_address_id, person_id, address)
Primary Key (e_mail_address_id)
Foreign Key (person_id) References Person (person_id)
