CREATE and ALTER DATABASE commands: Database names starting with “datacloud$” no longer allowed¶

The CREATE DATABASE and ALTER DATABASE commands are changing as follows:

Before the change:

You can use the CREATE DATABASE command to create a database with a name that starts with datacloud$.

You can also use the ALTER DATABASE command to change the name of a database to a name that starts with datacloud$.

After the change:

If you execute the CREATE DATABASE command to create a database with a name that starts with datacloud$, the following error occurs:

090841 (0A000): Database cannot have "DATACLOUD$" as prefix in its name.

The same error occurs if you use the ALTER DATABASE command to change the name of a database to a name that starts with datacloud$.

Note that the case of datacloud$ does not matter. The error occurs if this prefix is in uppercase, lowercase, or mixed case.
