Long Identifiers

Identifier names used in cdr commands follow the guidelines of SQL syntax.

Identifiers are the names of objects, such as database servers, databases, columns, replicates, replicate sets, and so on, that HCL OneDB™ and Enterprise Replication use.

An identifier is a character string that must start with a letter or an underscore. The remaining characters can be letters, numbers, or underscores. On HCL OneDB, all identifiers, including replicates and replicate sets, can be 128 bytes long. However, if you have any database servers in your replication environment that are an earlier version, you must follow the length restrictions for that version.

For more information about identifiers, see the HCL OneDB Guide to SQL: Syntax.

The length of a path and file name, such as the names of ATS files, can be 256 bytes.

User login IDs can be a maximum of 32 bytes. The owner of a table is derived from a user ID and is thus limited to 32 bytes.
