Hello, I'm finally back on the list after some serious sendmail problems! I have a really simple question. We're upgrading to 7.1 from 5.0 and I need to know what the maximum table name size and column name size will be in 7.1. In 5.XX it was about 18 characters I believe. I won't have the software and doc. for several weeks, but I need a headstart if we're going to have to change any of our table/column names. Thanks in advance for your time! Tracy W.
