DatabaseAndScopeName Diagram
(Identifier
DatabaseAndScopeName

The DatabaseAndScopeName represents two identifiers separated by a dot character ., where the first identifier is the database name and the second identifier is the scope name.

If a single identifier is present, Operational Insights resolves it as a scope name and assumes that the database is Default.

For more information about how Operational Insights organizes entities into a database.scope.database_object hierarchy and resolves names, see Entities in Operational Insights Services.

Example

The following example creates a scope with the name myPlaylist in the music database.

 CREATE SCOPE music.myPlaylist;
