A table or field name MUST begin with an alphabetic character. The remainder of the name may be any of the following 63 characters: • A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z • a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z • 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 • _ (that’s an “underbar” NOT a “dash”) The maximum name length is set to 20 characters. That’s for a table or a field in a table. This allows for 813621925049196536663393538834956800 possible naming combinations using the characters listed above.
