{{Mark|Updated with Version 7.7}}:
Database, user and event names follow the same naming constraints: Names are restricted to ASCII characters. They must at least have one character, and they may contain letters, numbers and any of the special characters <code>!#$%&'()+-=@[]^_`{}~</code>. The following characters are reserved for other operationsfeatures:
* <code>,?*</code> are used by the : [[#Glob Syntax|glob syntax]]* <code>;</code> is used as separator : Separator for multiple database commands on the [[Startup Options|command line]]* <code>\/</code> and : Directory path separators* <code>\.</code> are used as separator in : hidden folders (e.g. the [[Logging|.logs directory paths]])* <code>:*?\"<>|}</code> are : invalid filename characters on Windows
Before {{Version|7.7}}, names were restricted to letters, numbers, underscores and dashes, matching the regular expression <code>[-_a-zA-Z0-9]{1,128}</code>.
