I am new to Firebird, and I am trying to port a database from SQL
Server to Firebird. The SQL Server database has field names as long as
37 characters. RDB$FIELDS.RDB$FIELD_NAME has 31 characters, so I am
getting an error about string truncation.
The simplest solution would be changing the length of the column, but
what are the dangers of that? Am I going to be forced to change the
name through tens of thousands of lines of code?
