The Teradata naming conventions are different from the SAS names. Some of the key aspects are the following:
- Unlike SAS, where the name can be up to 32 characters, Teradata names in SAS need to be between 1 and 30 characters.
- The name can contain the letters A to Z, numbers, underscores, and also the dollar and pound signs.
- You can specify a name in double quotes. That way, it can contain any characters except double quotation marks.
- Names in double quotes are not case sensitive.
