I scanned the SDO spec and could not find anything saying that dots are
not allowed in names.
Page 104 of the SDO 2.01 spec says: The XSD names are preserved in the
Type and Property. Use the sdo:name override to modify names as an
option to remove duplicate names, blank names, or names with
special characters.
I would expect the SDO property name to be the same as the XSD element
name, with the dot.
Could one of our Java or C++ SDO experts help shed some light on this?
Are dots allowed in SDO names? Did I miss anything in the spec?
Do we need to make a fix to the C++ SDO implementation? Any pointer to
where to start to fix this?
Thanks,

Pete,
The SDO spec is not specific about what "special characters" are. This
could very well include dots, but I am interpreting the "...use sdo:name
override as option to..." as a nice convenience (as they say an
"option"), not something that "you absolutely have to do to make things
work". If this is actually the case, and "special characters" are not
allowed in SDO names, then it should be clearly stated in the spec.
In a spec which main goal is to handle types, I was expecting an
unambiguous type definition for SDO names... I have scanned the whole
doc three times now, but maybe I missed it :)
