Object names and qualifiers are referred to as identifiers. OpenAccess SDK supports names with the following properties:
- Schema names can be a maximum length of 128 characters.
- Names must begin with an alpha character (a-z, A-Z) and may contain the following characters: a-z, A-Z, 0-9, _, @, #, ^,$, &, ~, %.
- Use of the character “\” is not supported as it conflicts with its use by ODBC as an escape characters in SQLTables and other catalog functions.
- Names are not case-sensitive.
- A name cannot be a reserved word.
