Naming convention table name Java

[Former Member]

Dear expert,

I know that in the ABAP world, when I create a custom table, it have to start with Z.. or Y.. in the name.

Is this the same when I need to create a table in the Java schema?

Thanks for you help.

Hi, Ferruccio,

In the Java world, table naming conventions apply when you define your tables in the Java Dictionary (which is a metadata representation of a real database).

The names of tables that are defined in the Java Dictionary should:

- begin with a prefix (for example, the name of a component ‚FI_*’);

- not exceed 18 characters (including the prefix);

- not contain Open SQL keywords (for example, SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, MODIFY and DELETE);

- contain only permitted characters, i.e. letters, numbers, and underscores.

I hope that helps!

Regards,

Yordan
