Hi,
I need to extend the maximum name length for tables as the databases
that I'm using use automatically generated tables names that can get
quite lengthy. I've managed to find the appropriate header file to set
the max name length so that calls to create tables from the psql command
line work ok (by recompiling from source). But now I need to access
these created tables from within embedded sql.

I had assumed that there would be a single header file that sets the max
name length, but it loos like the esql precompiler didn't pick up the
amended max name length. Can anyone therefore tell me where I should
start to look for the appropriate header file to allow max name lengths
for the esql precompiler to be extended.

Hope this is the correct mailing list for this question.

Many thanks,
--
Tony
