From: Alan Campin
that creates a problem because the tables and field names are
being created with default names if the name is greater than 10
characters.

Ah, the joys of cross-platform development...

This reminds me of the browser wars. A number of developers insisting on using IE only features - insisting that users switch to IE.

Is it safe to assume that somebody is insisting on using field names longer than 10 characters?
