==Valid Names==
Database and user 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 featuresdisallowed:
* <code>,?*</code>: [[#Glob Syntax|glob syntax]]
* <code>;</code>: Separator for multiple database commands on the [[Command-Line Options|command line]]
* <code>\/</code>: Directory path separators
* <code>\/:*?\"<>|}</code>: invalid filename characters on Windows
* Names starting or ending with <code>.</code>: hidden folders (e.g. the [[Logging|.logs directory]])
