<h1 class="topictitle1">SQL and system naming conventions</h1>
<div><p>There are two naming conventions that can be used in <span class="keyword">DB2<sup>®</sup> UDB for iSeries™</span> programming:
system (*SYS) and SQL (*SQL). </p>
<p>The naming convention used affects the method for qualifying
file and table names and the terms used on the interactive SQL displays. The
naming convention used is selected by a parameter on the SQL commands or,
for REXX, selected through the SET OPTION statement. See Qualification of
unqualified object names in the SQL Reference for more details.</p>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">System naming (*SYS)</h4><p>In the system naming convention,
tables and other SQL objects in an SQL statement are qualified by schema name
in the form: </p>
<pre>schema/table</pre>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">SQL naming (*SQL)</h4><p>In the SQL naming convention,
tables and other SQL objects in an SQL statement are qualified by the schema
name in the form: </p>
<pre>schema.table</pre>
