Can you confirm the fact that if table name is greater than 10
characters, JBoss CMP will fail with exactly this exception?

I suspect that this happens in PreparedStatement.setString(int,
String), and because of issue in Firebird metadata, JayBird thinks
that column name is max. 10 characters...

So, if you confirm this, I think we should switch off checking of
string size in FBStringField and letting server throw an exception.

Thanks!
