Object name form

Use object name forms to reference objects in a database.

You can reference an object in a database by using a four-part object name form.

  • name:version:type:instance

    For example, ClientSessionContext.java:23:java:J#1 refers to an object named ClientSessionContext.java with a version of 23, a type of java, and an instance of J#1.

  • name version_delimiter version:instance

    The version_delimiter is the current version delimiter used in the database. For example, with the default version delimiter of - (hyphen), the specification ClientSessionContext.java-23:java:J#1 refers to an object named ClientSessionContext.java with a version of 23, a type of java, and an instance of J#1.

    Note: When you enable the allow_delimiter_in_name feature and use the second form, the version field is determined by taking the part after the right-most version delimiter. For example, with a hyphen version delimiter, the specification my-file-23:ascii:1 shows a name of my-file and a version of 23.
