Well I think one day they should increase, I liken it to DOS and 8 character filenames. When you build large information systems with 100's, even thousands of tables it becomes rather annoying for users to have to guess the spelling. It also forces an ugly naming convention as the logical domain prefixes are forced from 'words' to '3 character prefixes that suck'. Received on Mon Feb 19 2007 - 07:03:33 CST
