# Field Names – Referencing a Field in a Table

The field names used in a query or predicate expression have the following form:

`[table-name.]field-name[:attribute-name]`

An optional table name followed by a period, a field name and an optional variable attribute name preceded by a colon.

Never enter the period without a table name, or a colon without an attribute name.

| • | Table-name: is used only in join searches. It is required only if the `field-name` is not unique in the set of tables included in the join.

| • | Field-name: is always required. It identifies the field in the table.

| • | Attribute-name: is allowed only if the field is a variable attributes field. It specifies which attribute value in the field is desired. If `field-name` specifies a variable attributes field, and an `attribute-name` is not specified the reference is to the concatenation of all attribute values in the field.
