Naming conventions

When you specify a display name for an object class, relation or property, the CDB BDE simultaneously generates the following additional names:

Short display name

Used on charts and in other situations where screen display space is limitedBy default, this name is the display name that you specify.

RDBMS name

Used by the underlying relational database management system (RDBMS) that contains data as a table or column name

Internal name

Used by operations internally to identify classes, relations, and properties

After you save the extension, you can edit the user-specified display name and the generated short display name by using the Data Dictionary Editor Tool. For more information, see Modifying-data-object-names-and-descriptions.

Your edits are reflected in the user interface only and not in the underlying databases. You cannot edit either the RDBMS or the internal name.
