Knut Anders Hatlen commented on DERBY-4805:
-------------------------------------------
One experiment that may be useful to run on the patch, is to temporarily change
TestConfiguration.DEFAULT_DBNAME and TestConfiguration.DEFAULT_DBNAME_SQL to a
longer value close to the new maximum length, and then run the full regression
test suite and see what falls over.
> Increase the length of the RDBNAM field in the DRDA implementation

> Currently, whenever the client driver is used, there is a limit of 255 bytes
> for the database name. This is defined by the DRDA spec and there has been a
> discussion on the list [1]/[2] as to whether this limit should be raised due
> to the introduction of the new ACR that allows for UTF-8 characters.
> UTF-8 characters can take up to four bytes and this reduces the limit in
> characters dramatically.
> This should be an easy change as there is a codepoint that defines this limit.
> [1] did not work but [2] did
