I recompiled my server with support for longer (128 character max) table
names. (This was a bit tricky because you have to change things in two
places.) 32 character limits are rather low. 64 or 128 are more reasonable.
(Yes, I know this is controversial. The problem I was having is analogous
to the SERIAL problem: table names are made by concatenating together a few
fields. Each of thee fields can reasonably be 15 or 20 characters. So while
32 characters is fine for a single human generated identifier, it is not
long enough for other purposes.)
