Identifiers

An identifier is a token that is used to form a name. The two types of identifiers are host identifiers and SQL identifiers.

A host identifier is an identifier used to form the name of a host variable. Rules for forming host identifiers depend on the host language.

All other identifiers are SQL identifiers. SQL identifiers are of two types, ordinary and delimited.
