I've been thinking about this and it's really only a problem in databases that don't natively support boolean columns (using maybe an int instead or perhaps an enum). If you're using an enum then it is possible that the _status
suffix may make sense.
In a database that supports booleans it's unnecessary to indicate the type via the column name itself and it should just be shipped
(using your example) in my opinion.
So, in short, I am of the opinion that booleans are not special and should follow the standard column naming guidelines.

Sorry, I meant to say naming advice, e.g. should you prefer is_shipped
or shipped
or has_shipped
, e.t.c. There's different patterns for naming them and you have advice for other datatypes already, but I couldn't see anything for boolean columns?

Great, thanks!
