You could use a local database to keep track of your cloud database objects. :hehe:
The problem then becomes; What to name the local database??? 😛

My only qualm about naming right now with naming in the various cloud techs is I'm one of those OCD guys who hates that some services force lower case and others allow uppercase. The mix of upper and lower in naming makes me twitch. I either want them all low or all high. I don't want both! 😛

I want both, but I want insensitivity.

The number of times I've been burned by insensitivity... I'll take insensitivity, but only when forced to. I don't like it but I appreciate that it might have a place.
As for naming conventions, we usually use codes to indicate enough information to not need a guide. Not always possible in larger deployments, for those we go the dbception route and have a separate app that serializes the naming of the systems.

That's my choice, as well. I was totally amazed when I worked in Oracle at all of the UPPER() function usage burning up CPU time and making criteria non-SARGable because people wouldn't/couldn't/didn't follow their own casing standards. If it's imperative that something be case sensitive, I'll deal with it a column at a time. That's probably easier said than done in non-English-based servers, though.
