If you'd look at some database designs - list of their table and column names - you might think you're looking at hieroglyphs. Behind those cryptic texts are hidden business entities that are relevant to you, such as customers, orders, products, etc. Do your organization and data teams a favor - translate this ancient writing into human speak!
You can do this be creating and sharing a data dictionary with aliases and descriptions. There's a perfect tool for this - Dataedo.
