Table naming Convention in Oracle Apps

very common thing , people get confuse why such type of naming

convention oracle have used.

_ALL: Table holds all the information about different operating units.
Multi-org environment. you can also set the MO_GLOBAL to specific
operating unit to see the data specific to that operating unit only.
_TL: Tables corresponding to another table with the same name use
underscore _TL. These table provides multiple language support. For
each item in the table without _TL there can be many rows in the _TL
table, But all with different values in the language column.
_B: These are the BASE tables. They are very important and all the
data is stored in the table with all validations. it is supposed that these
table will always contains the perfect format data. if anything happens
to the BASE table data , then it is a data corruption issues.

_F: These are the Date tracked Tables, which occur in HR AND

Payroll. For these are two date column EFFECTIVE_START_DATE

AND EFFECTIVE_END_DATE which together with PK identifies a row
uniquely. The data intervals cannot overlap.
many think they are secured data. Guess someone from oracle
confirms.
_V: Tables are the views created on base tables.
_VL: Are views for multi language tables which combines the row of
the base tables with the corresponding
rows of the _TL table where LANGUAGE=USERENV('LANG');
-S: are sequences ,used for finding the new values for the primary key
of a table.
_A: are audit shadow tables .
_AVN: and ACN are audit shadow views(when data was changed, and
with what values )
