Considering Interoperability When Naming Databases
When naming a database, the name must have a maximum of 50 characters. Also, it is a good idea to avoid spaces, special characters (other than underscores or hyphens), or beginning the name with a numeral. By doing so, the database will better allow smooth interoperability with optional Square 9 modules such as GlobalForms, and with external systems such as line-of-business applications, should you want to implement an integration of this type.
