New Object Prefix

Use a three-character object prefix in the name of the new objects you create in BladeSmith to ensure that your objects have unique names in the database when the DataBlade module is registered.

Use your DataBlade module new object prefix to begin the names of the following objects:

• New data types
• User-defined routines
• Aggregates
• Access methods
• Executable utilities and tools provided with the DataBlade module
• Tables, views, and other custom SQL objects included with your DataBlade module
• User-defined virtual processors
• Trace classes
• Named memory

You do not have to use the DataBlade module new object prefix for the following objects:

• Names of routines that operate on data types unique to your DataBlade module, including routines that you overload to take a new data type
• Names of routines that operate on data types provided by other DataBlade modules that you develop and maintain
• Names of routines in support libraries linked to the shared object file
