The following rules apply when specifying names:

• Characters that can be used in names are single-byte alphanumeric characters and the underscore (_).
• A name must begin with a single-byte alphabetic character, and must not begin with a number or an underscore (_).
• Names are not case-sensitive. All letters are treated as single-byte uppercase letters.
• A name must not contain a space.
• A name cannot be the same as a CQL reserved word (a name can be the same as a keyword that is not a reserved word).
• A name must not be enclosed in double quotation marks (").
• The number of characters that can be specified for a name is between 1 and 100.
