RE: [mdb-dev] Segfault when listing tables andproblemsexportingtables

[Fergus A. <f_W...@ya...>]

As a design point, table names should only be case sensitive when
delimited

Thus:

Select * from tbl_Neo
Select * from TBL_NEO

Are identical, but 


Select * from "tbl_Neo"
Select * from "TBL_NEO"

Are different. Example assumes double quote is the delimiter character.

Hmm. You're right.  There's something really funky going on.  If  you
look closely at the output of mdb-tables, or mdb-schema, there are some
'unprintable' characters being generated as part of the table name for
some tables, including these.

So the table name is not being extracted correctly.  That's probably a
bug somewhere...  Possibly in the unicode string extraction or
something.

Let's see... Ok.  It seems as though the 'hardcoded' max object name
length of 30 is screwing you up.  If we hardcode it to 50 it works. 
(begs a different question but....).  So try the attached patch on top
of the combined patch and it seems to work.

NOTE: the table names ARE case sensitive, so be sure to use mdb-tables
to get the exact name, then cut-and-paste for mdb-export.
