documentation - What are Valid feature class and table names in ArcGIS Desktop?



What are the rules for naming valid feature classes and tables in ArcGIS Desktop, and is there any supporting document which can explain all the dataset naming limitations?



Answer



It's in the documentation: Defining feature class properties


Specifically:



Names must begin with a letter, not a number or special character such as an asterisk (*) or percent sign (%). Names can't have any characters other than alphanumeric characters and underscores.
