Thread: [Bodington-developers] Golden Oracle RULE

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

  Hi

We have a user who's using Oracle 9 on a Windows 2000 server.

He has managed to install bodington 2.4.1 but when he setup the tables 
he gets the following error message:

A technical problem occurred trying to setup up tables in the database.
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00972: identifier is too long at

Someone (i.e.  a developer) has broken the Golden Oracle RULE that names 
of columns can't be long than 30 characters.

The table which has broken this rule is log_book_pages.

Could someone fix this problem Quickly?

The user is from University of Essex.

Thanks :-)

Jane,

I have now managed to install Bodington and get it to talk to the
database. The problem I now have is when using Bodington to set up the
database tables. The output message in the browser and Tomcat are in the
attached file.

I am using Oracle 9 on a Windows 2000 server. 

Sorry to trouble you again. Is there a direct support email address that
I can contact directly?

Regards
John
