PostgreSQL notes

+PostgreSQL ships by default with a maximum of 31 character column names. If +you use arbitrary RADIUS attributes longer than 9 characters, fs-setup will +fail with `duplicate column' errors (in the part_svc table). +Solution: use a different database +engine, or recompile PostgreSQL with 64 character column names. +

+Future versions of Freeside will keep all column names under 31 characters to +avoid this problem. +

+( I've personally been unable to get PostgreSQL working with larger column names, +though the process does look like it should be straightforward. If anyone is +interested in assisting me with this, please get in touch. + -Ivan <ivan@sisd.com> ) +
