Native Language Object Names 

All the object names in a DBEnvironment can be represented in the
DBEnvironment language or in NATIVE-3000.  The following rules for object
names are the same as for ASCII:

   *   The length of an object name is specified as a number of bytes.
       Note that this would mean a maximum of 20 characters for a table
       name in English and 10 in Chinese, because Chinese is represented
       in a two-byte character set.

   *   Table and view names can be qualified by prefixing the owner name
       followed by a period ('.')  The period serves as the delimiter and
       is thus a part of the syntax of SQL. It cannot be represented by a
       native language delimiter but must be ASCII.
