Identifiers are the names of objects, such as database servers, databases, columns, replicates, replicate sets, and so on, that Dynamic Server and Enterprise Replication use.
An identifier is a character string that must start with a letter or an underscore. The remaining characters can be letters, numbers, or underscores. On IBM Informix Dynamic Server, all identifiers, including replicates and replicate sets, can be 128 bytes long. However, if you have any database servers in your replication environment that are an earlier version, you must follow the length restrictions for that version.
For more information about identifiers, see the IBM Informix Guide to SQL: Syntax.
The location of files, such as the location of the ATS files, can be 256 bytes.
User login IDs can be a maximum of 32 bytes. The owner of a table is derived from a user ID and is thus limited to 32 bytes.
