It is possible to have an instance name longer than 4 characters. The issue is portability across operating
systems. I have not encountered an os which can't support eight character instance names, but
AIX (IBM) cannot support greater than eight characters (I believe there might be a workaround, but
I don't think it's worth the bother). I have worked with Solaris, HP-UX, and AIX.
