Description
Some ij commands require identifiers. These ij identifiers
are case-insensitive. They must begin with a letter in the range A-Z, and
can consist of any number of letters in the range A-Z, digits in the range
0-9, and underscore (_) characters.
An identifier can optionally use an at sign (@) followed
by a connectionName. Spaces on either side of the @ sign
are optional. If you specify a connectionName, you can refer to databases
on different connections. This capability enables you to perform tasks such as
copying data from one database to another. For an example of copying data
between databases, see
. For other
examples, see ,

These identifiers exist within the scope of ij only and are
distinct from any identifiers used in SQL commands, except in the case of
the Get Cursor command. The Get Cursor command specifies a cursor name to use in creating a result set.
ij does not recognize or permit delimited identifiers in ij commands. They can be used in SQL commands.
