What are a publisher and a solution prefix?

The publisher and prefix are set once and then apply to everything you create. Most people don't give it much thought and regret it later.

The prefix appears everywhere

If you create a table with the prefix “new”, it will be called `new_kunde` forever. This appears in integrations, queries, and documentation. The default value is “new”, and it is worth changing before anyone creates anything.

Choose something short and recognizable

Two to five characters that identify the organization. If multiple parties are developing for the same environment—for example, an internal team and a vendor—different prefixes make it clear who created what.

It cannot be changed later

Changing the prefix of existing components effectively means rebuilding them. Spend five minutes on this before creating the first table, and you won’t have to live with an arbitrary choice for years to come.
