Engines are free to choose the representation to use. For the table identifiers in the view definitions to be interoperable across engines, the following must be true: +* All engines must resolve a fully specified SQL identifier to the same table in the same catalog. Review Comment: If these are just recommendations should we just say " > Identifiers should always contain namespace information. > Catalog name should be omitted from any identifiers.
