Original: Entity Templates: How to Stop Schema Naming and Field-Order Drift

Short summary

An article arguing that schema drift happens because every new table starts from a blank slate and conventions live in wikis rather than in the tool. Schemity's entity templates provide baseline fields, automatic field placement, and per-connection foreign key naming so consistency becomes the default. The concept is sound but the article is promotional for Schemity.

  • Schema drift occurs because conventions live in wikis, not in the design tool
  • Entity templates supply baseline fields so every new table starts on convention
  • Multiple templates can support different table types (regular, append-only, reference data)
