[fdo-dev] using dot '.' in schema element name

[Orest Halustchak]

Hi Haris,
 
I'm not sure about your example of DbSchema.TableName.ColumnName. There
is an existing delimeter to separate schema name from class name, which
seems to be the first part of your example. Why would the column name be
part of the class name rather than the column name being a property
name? Are you trying to handle a case where a column is an object type?
 
Thanks,
Orest.

Yes, of course. 
 
I wanted to open discussion if that can be changed or extended, so the
class name could have dot as delimiter.

Hi Haris,
 
Dot and colon are reserved and cannot be used for scheme element names.
Colon is used as a delimeter between schema name and class name (e.g.
LandBase:Road) and dot is used for accessing object properties (e.g.
Address.StreetNumber) or for associations.
 
Thanks,
Orest.

I am wondering is it possible to allow '.' dot character to be part of
FdoSchemaElement name ?
 
I realized that '.' is hard coded and used as scope delimiter for
fdoidentifer's but
I think it is important to be able to have class name  like:
'DbSchema.TableName.ColumnName'.
 
Right now I am using ~ character but more intuitive would be to use '.'
