Description

These new limits should be documented. The page I assume most likely needs changes is:
http://incubator.apache.org/derby/docs/ref/rrefidlengthlimits.html

So I am planning on changing all of those to 128. Is that correct?

Also, I did a preliminary search and couldn't find many other instances where we explicitely say anything has a limit of either 30 or 18. The only items I found were that numeric floating point constants are limited to a length of 30 characters, and index names have an 18 character max length. Should either or both of those go to 128? Should either of those or both be placed in the Limitations table (see the link above) as well?

This is an easy patch to create, I can do it really easily if someone can provide me with answers to the above questions.

Thanks!
