It is also the reason Oracle can't be used, but there is nothing
stopping the long names being brought under control. That is what we did
on bitweaver - along with renaming reserved words so that we did not
need to run double quoted. It's not the limitation that is the problem -
it's simply that no one will run a port with the shorter table and field
names?
