SQL Workspaces Naming Rules

StreamNative maps SQL Catalog and topic names to identifiers in the SQL Workspace engine.

SQL Catalog and topic mapping

Source system	Database	Schema	Source
Pulsar	SQL Catalog name	Full Pulsar tenant and namespace, such as `public/default`	Local topic name
Kafka	SQL Catalog name	`public`	Kafka topic name

Long database, schema, and topic names might be shortened when they are mapped to engine identifiers. Use the exact schema and source names shown in SQL Studio.

Quoted identifiers

Always enclose topic-derived schema and source names in double quotes, including names that do not contain punctuation:

SELECT * FROM "public/default"."order-events";
SELECT * FROM "public"."events.production";

Double quotes identify SQL objects. Single quotes represent string values and cannot be used in place of identifier quotes. Unquoted identifiers are normalized by the SQL Workspace engine. Quoting preserves case and avoids conflicts with SQL keywords or punctuation. For more information about sources, tables, and materialized views, see Source, Table, Materialized View, and Sink in the RisingWave documentation.
