Hi !
Is there an easy way to have metadata names longer than 31 Characters in Firebird 2.1 and above ? This limitation is annoying with Foreign Keys and Views Name.
Thanks!

Thanks for your answer. Too bad they didn't get rid of this limitation...

This limitation is not easy one to get rid off. Because changing of metadata name length will require change in client interface. Thus all existing apps would require recompilation.

BTW, Oracle has similar limitation too and no one seems to complain.
