Hi,

just some additional remarks for system names:
1. System Names are automatically created for all database objects and fields whose names are longer than 10 characters, except you specify your own system names. As already pointed out, for tables, views and indexes the system names can be changed by using the SQL command RENAME. When using long field names and user defined short system field names, the system names must be specified in the CREATE TABLE statement.
   There is no way to change them after creating the table.
   Example:
   Create Table MYSCHEMA/OrderHdr
(ORDER_NUMBER for Column ORHNBR char (5) Not Null with Default, CUSTOMER_NUMBER for Column CUSNBR char (5) Not Null with Default, ORDER_DATE for Column ORHDTE Date Not Null with Default, ORDER_DELIVERY for Column ORHDLY Date Not Null with Default, ORDER_SALESREP for Column SRNBR char (10) Not Null with Default, ORDER_TOTAL for Column ORHTOT dec (11, 2) Not Null with Default);

2. There is no guarantee when recreating the table, view or index and system generated system names are used, that the same object will receive the same system name, it had before.

3. When using long names and unqualified access with system naming, the system names must be used, i.e. the system tables must be searched to determine the system names. This will reduce performance. With SQL naming only tables from a single schema can unqualified be used and the long names can be directly used.

Mit freunlichen Grüßen / Best regards

that would be nice :) Then let me change the MIKE0001 to anything I
want

Yeah, that's a fix.  I wonder if he wanted something to pop up like
"Warning:  Due to (invalid characters) or (length of object>10) I am
going
to call this table name MIKE0001".

I think he is talking about the situations where no one counted the
characters in the first place and did a straight
CREATE TABLE IAMMORETHAN10...
