I was checking the docs on this point a couple of days ago. Method names are still limited to 31 characters but variable length up to 255 characters _should_ be possible if the database is running in Unicode mode.
Why do I say _should_? Because in my current v17 conversion project (from v15) I am not able to go beyond the current 31 character limit, even though the database is running with Unicode support active. I have not investigated this limitation at any length as I have the bigger task of the conversion itself to deal with. I also just quickly checked this in a clean v17 database that I am using for testing and the 31 character limit still exists there. At this point I would say that the v17 docs are wrong?! It would be interesting to hear from anyone who can definitively confirm the we can go above the old 31 character limit though and/or whether there is some other magic setting to enable this support?
