Re: Table name max length

Why do you feel the need to?

I've been working with databases for a couple of decades; I only hit limits on table name length regularly when working with [full-blown] Oracle (how they can still justify only 30 characters for a table name, I'll never know).

64 characters for a table name is quite a lot unless you're writing a small novel in each table name.

Show us some examples - I'm guessing we're going to see "qualifications" and "subsets" in there that really don't belong, e.g. years, months, complete dates, company names. None of that belongs in a table name.

Regards,
Phill W.
