In principle, you can make your own choice of name for a database instance during its installation. However, note the following points:

·        The maximum length of a database name is eight characters.

·        The database name can contain the characters from the 7-bit ASCII character set.

·        The database name cannot begin with an underscore or a period.

·        When you create a database instance, the Database Manager automatically converts all lowercase letters into uppercase letters.
