Identifiers
The NonStop ODBC Server supports ODBC identifiers for naming all objects except
databases and owners.
Database Names
The format for a database name is:
node_volume_subvolume
You must separate the parts of the name with underscores (_).
Each portion of the name begins with a letter and consists of letters and numerals. The
maximum number of characters for each portion is as follows:
The NonStop ODBC Server maps the database name to a Guardian identifier as
follows:
\node.$volume.subvolume
When specifying a database name in NonStop ODBC Server applications, do not
specify the backslash (\) and dollar sign ($) as part of the name.
Owner Names
Each SQL object belongs to an owner, identified by the logical username associated
with a Guardian logon ID by an ADDNAME USER statement.
The format for an owner name is:
logical-username
Case Sensitivity
Identifiers used with the NonStop ODBC Server are not case sensitive (My_Table is
the same as my_table).
NULL Values
The NonStop ODBC Server supports NULL values in the same way as ODBC.
Search Conditions
The NonStop ODBC Server supports all ODBC search condition syntax.
