Naming standard for Tagged Values, so different scripts works

[steen.jensen]

As a non-programmer I have possible made some "sink-holes" for my self.
I have created Tagged-Values names with space, hyphen that I have trouble with in SQL-scripts.
Are there any other characters I should avoid? Underscore, National char as öäå etc etc

There are no standards per say, You are right, we always stick to the code / sql safe naming convention (avoiding spaces or special characters). Underscores are safe though. Some gurus in this forum might have listed down the specific characters that are sure fail.

The use of special characters is mainly defined by the underlying database. If you use a database/driver that supports unicode, EA works fine with special characters.

The other suggestion that I'd make is that using valid xml attribute names will help if you're wanting to export xmi (although EA will round trip the name with itself)

Short summary, don't start with 'xml', or a number. Avoid punctuation except ':', '.', '-', '_'. Don't include spaces.

What about mix o capital & small letters in tagged value names??

IIRC case sensitivity (e.g. whether "Taggedvalue" and "TaggedValue" are seen as being different) depends on the database you use.
