Hi,

is the following note correct?

As i read the source it is: 0 < length fieldname <=10

Unsure about the limit of C. Is it <=255 chars?

If someone can confirm, I will update the docs.

Thanks for your time.

Regards 
Friedhelm Betz

Not sure if this happens everywhere, but on Windows (Windows XP Pro, SP1, PHP
 4.3.4) the "colum" names can not be longer than 10 characters.  While trying
 to create a database with colums over 10 characters it would just die every
 time.  10 characters or under and it works great.
