From a server perspective, the following characters are not allowed in name fields:
|
Restricted Character |
Description |
|---|---|
|
. |
Period. |
|
% |
Percent sign. |
|
* |
Asterisk. |
|
| |
Vertical bar. |
|
, |
Comma. |
|
" |
Double quotation marks. |
Purely numeric names are also not allowed.
The system checks on the server for these restricted characters at the time of server modification, regardless of the client used to update the name field (for example, the Advanced Database Editor (ADE), dbll, the Interactive SQL (ISQL) tool).
