I can't remember back that far to know whether the variable naming rules
were more lax then but as far as CF4.52 is concerned, variable names must
contain only letters, numbers and underscores, and must start with a letter.
This translates to meaning that your query names should follow the same
convention as the query name forms part of the variable name when you use it
to prefix the column name. The datasource name is fine as that isn't
constrained by CF but the operating system upon which CF is installed. I
haven't experimented with a range of different characters but I know that
spaces work.

Subject: Hyphen Use in CF 4.52
I wrote an application in CF 2.0 several years ago. My provider just moved
it to CF 4.52 and I get DataSource errors.
My question: is it OK to use a hyphen in either/both the datasource name
and/or the query name, or is this now illegal?
Thanks very much,
Tom
