The original title is about entity templates and how to stop schema naming and field-order drift. Let me rewrite this for a mobile feed.
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)
