In Adaptive Server version 15.0, delimited identifiers are enclosed in double quotes (“) or brackets ([ ]), and variables can be 254 bytes, since the @ counts as 1 byte.
Extended identifiers apply to:
Table names
Column names
Index names
View names
User-defined datatypes
Trigger names
Default names
Rule names
Constraint names
Procedure names
Variable names
JAR names
Function names
Names for time ranges
Name of light-weight process (LWP) or dynamic statements
Application context names
These system tables have changed because of long identifiers:
sysattributes
sysaudits01-08
syscacheconfig
syscolumns
sysconfigures
sysindexes
sysjars
sysobjects
sysprocesses
systimeranges
systypes
These are possible issues you may encounter because of longer identifier names:
Increased stack usage
Increased use of disk space.
You may need to change your user-defined stored procedures or applications to accommodate the longer identifiers.
