Hi,
according to this article http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=409471, the naming of tables, and fields is restricted to 63 characters and must start with an underscore or letter. Nothing is however said about in which character set.

Am I allowed to name a table field < Änderung_1 >. The Ä is a german letter contained within the UTF8 character set.

yours,

Rob
