Sybase and Oracle Reserved Words

User814560-OracleAug 1 2013 — edited Aug 2 2013

Hi all,

we are planning on migrating a Sybase ASE database to Oracle 11g by using SQL Developer. Although for IBM DB2 and MS Access,the documentation clearly states SQL Developer's native behavior when encountering Oracle reserved words in the source db, this is not clearly stated for Sybase.

IBM DB2

Reserved words differ between Oracle and IBM DB2. Some Oracle reserved words are

valid object or column names in IBM DB2. Use of reserved words as schema object

names makes it impossible to use the same names across databases. SQL Developer

appends an underscore and a numeric digit (_n) to the end of the name of an IBM DB2

object that is an Oracle reserved word.

MS ACCESS

The following table lists, in tabular format, words that are reserved in Oracle. SQL

Developer appends an underscore to any object names that conflict with these

reserved words.

Can anyone share their experience in migrating from Sybase to Oracle with SQL Developer and let us know what the default behavior is? (underscore as a suffix, underscore as a prefix, _n, etc)

Thanks

Tony
