        <div class="comment-block" style="background-color:#edf5ff;border:1px solid #dddddd;color:#000000;padding:12px;"><p>I posed the following questions to the hibernate-dev mailing list &#8211; figured I'd try here as well:</p>

<blockquote>
<p>I've been working a bit on <a href="https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/HHH-1904" title="Identifier too long (reborn)">HHH-1904</a> <span class="error">&#91;1&#93;</span> &#8211; truncating identifiers based on a maximum length provided by the Dialect.  As an example, a quick test that has a variety of uniques produced the constraint names in <span class="error">&#91;2&#93;</span>.</p>

<p>My initial strategy took metamodel's ObjectName and modified it to automatically handle name segments and quoting.  For example, `UK_FooClass_1` would be broken down into "UK", "FooClass", and "1" segments, "_" would be the delimiter, and quoting would be added back in whenever necessary.</p>

<p>I'm trying to find a decent strategy for truncating the name, either as a whole or with each segment.  The problem that I keep running into is that it's going to be difficult to dynamically ensure that naming collisions are avoided.  For example, if embedded classes are used as entities, you could have 2 constraint names like "UK_OuterClass$InnerClassA_1" and "UK_OuterClass$InnerClassB_1".  If the middle segment is truncated at or before the "$", it won't work.</p>

<p>Should we try to enforce a rule that the "unique bits" be in a specific segment or position?  Alternatively, "truncate" by hashing the name (as we do with FK names now &#8211; of course, no human readability)?  Any other ideas?</p>

<p>Admittedly, I may be overthinking it.  It's primarily the Hibernate-generated constraint names that we need to worry about...</p>
