Case-Sensitivity

All identifiers are case-sensitive. This includes the names of streams, windows, parameters, variables, schemas, and columns. Keywords are case-insensitive, and cannot be used as identifier names. Adapter properties also include case-sensitivity restrictions.

Most built-in function names (except those that are keywords) and user-defined functions are case-sensitive. While the following built-in function names are case-sensitive, you can express them in two ways:

• setOpcode, setopcode
• getOpcode, getopcode
• setRange, setrange
• setSearch, setsearch
• copyRecord, copyrecord
• deleteIterator, deleteiterator
• getIterator, getiterator
• resetIterator, resetiterator
• businessDay, businessday
• weekendDay, weekendday
• expireCache, expirecache
• insertCache, insertcache
• keyCache, keycache
• getNext, getnext
• getParam, getparam
• dateInt, dateint
• intDate, intdate
• uniqueId, uniqueid
• LeftJoin, leftjoin
• valueInserted, valueinserted

Example

Two variables, one defined as 'aVariable' and one as 'AVariable' can coexist in the same context as they are treated as different variables. Similarly, you can define different streams or windows using the same name, but with different cases.
