SAS/ACCESS Interface for Informix

Naming Conventions for Informix

For general information about this feature, see SAS Names and Support for DBMS Names.

The PRESERVE_COL_NAMES= and PRESERVE_TAB_NAMES= LIBNAME options determine how SAS/ACCESS Interface to Informix handles case sensitivity, spaces, and special characters. For information about these options, see Overview of the LIBNAME Statement for Relational Databases.

Informix objects include tables and columns. They follow these naming conventions.

Because several problems were found in the Informix ODBC driver that result from using uppercase or mixed case, Informix encourages users to use lowercase for table and column names. Informix currently has no schedule for fixing these known problems.
