At least we have 30 characters, and not the 18 defined in FIPS PUB 127-2 <g>

Or we could have the convenient 27 different identifier lengths as described at https://aurora.vcu.edu/db2help/db2s0/frame3.htm#sqlidts

BTW: I agree that 30 characters is too small. Why bother with a metadata repository or comments, just make the identifier fully descriptive. Then get an IDE with autocomplete ... Received on Mon Aug 30 2004 - 12:45:22 CDT
