A database field name should have the following characteristics:

• Can contain one to 18 bytes.
• Must begin with A through Z or a through z; other characters can include A through Z, a through z, 0 through 9, @, $, _, and #.
• Cannot be any of the Content Manager OnDemand reserved keywords:
  • annot

  • comp_type
  • doc_len
  • doc_name
  • doc_off
  • doc_type

• Cannot be any of the keywords reserved by the database manager. See the documentation provided with your database manager product for a list of reserved words.

• Must be unique to the application group.
