RE: [SQL] Column name's length

Hi,
I also run RH6.0. Tried the one you show down below with the NAMEDATALEN,
OIDNAMELEN, and PADDED_SBUFDESC_SIZE modifications and recompiled everything
new and it still gave me the same problem. I don't think it has anything to
do with RH6.0 because if i don't modify those three things, it worked like a
charm. Now i'm really stuck. Anyway, thank you everyone for your help.
