hi! from my experience of haveing the same data or data model on different DB brands and platforms it is wise wiser wisest - cause you never know what the management is going to buy next - to stick to the following naming conventions for identifiers:
+ all identifiers in uppercase + not more than 30 chars (even if MS$SQL offers you 128) (if there's an old DB2 on the mainframe around, even: 18) + start with a char + do NOT - even not in quotes - use reserved words: INSERT, VIEW etc. + be careful with other characters than letters and numbers many developers use '_' only this will make life easier daniel -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Daniel Wisser INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
