Hi there.

I remember someone talking about compiling pgsql so that it could use 
table names longer than 32 bytes, but that it would require some 
changes in the source code. Could anyone tell me what changes these 
are, and how safe it would be to do it (that is, should I assume that 
I could just compile a newer version making the same changes to the 
sources, and have anyone experienced anything broken using the longer 
table names)???

Yours faithfully.
Finn Kettner.
PS. The main reasong for the longer table names is not the tables 
themself, but the indexes etc. that are constructed automatically 
using e.g. serial fields.
