Background documentation Keyword Locate the document in the library structure

The database system uses a number of words as keywords, for example as syntax elements in SQL statements or as command names.

There are reserved and non-reserved keywords.

●     You can use reserved keywords in special identifiers for database objects, but not in simple identifiers.

Example: SELECT

●     You can use non-reserved keywords in any identifiers for database objects.

Example: COMMIT

Recommendation

We recommend that you use neither non-reserved nor reserved keywords in identifiers for database objects.
