xddgen now allows names larger than 31 chars

The xddgen utility is able to generate the XDD if a field name is larger than 31 characters to allow more flexibility in generating the XDD. Two configuration entries accommodate this situation:

  1. user-defined-names-len (defaults to 31) - Can be any number between 31 and 64. It determines the number of significant chars in fields and table names.
  2. check-redefinition (defaults to yes) - If yes, check for field names redefinitions that would cause having multiple SQL fields with the same name and if so, error out.

The behavior when names larger than user-defined-names-len is encountered has been changed so that, instead of generating an error, it produces a warning and truncates the name to the maximum allowed length.
