Hello,

Can the internal buffers that PostgreSQL uses for the identifiers be made
larger? I have a few tables with some fields that are already named for me
(i.e. I am mapping some old data that was in a flat-file into a database),
and the names of some of the fields are too long (34 characters) and it appears
that the max identifier length is 31 characters (32 - 1 for the null).

Can this be manually adjusted through some compile-time parameter?
