Create or Edit Table: Enlarge the Name box

[Roeland]

Here's a quick fix: When you create (right_click on tables=> New...) or Edit a table with the Table Wizard, the edit-box for the name is not large enough. Table names can have up to 30 characters, but you show only 25 of them. Make this box a little larger so we can view the whole name at once.

Kind regards,

It depends on the characters that you use. We'll consider to make it larger though.

Could this be done for Version 12?
The fonts that I use are:
- in the browser: Segoe UI Regular 8
- in the grid: Segoe UI Regular 9
- in the editor: Courier New Regular 10

Oracle 12.2 will allow names up to 128 chars. Better be ready for that.

Oracle 12.2 will allow names up to 128 chars

Wow, I did not know that. Big improvement.

I can not see in the documentation, though, whether this will apply also for PL/SQL identifiers (variables, method names, package names etc.) Does anybody know more about this?

Long Identifiers
The maximum length of identifiers is increased to 128 bytes for most identifiers, up from 30 bytes in previous releases.

Providing longer identifiers gives customers greater flexibility in defining their naming schemes, such as longer and more expressive table names. Having longer identifiers also enables object name migration between databases with different character sets, such as Thai to Unicode.
