Data points: On Solaris ZFS the max directory name limit is 255 *bytes*, In Derby embedded I see a 255 character limit for ASCII for a db (i.e. directory) name and 127 for two-byte (in UTF-8) Latin characters like the รง (C cedille), which makes sense. So Derby doesn't seem to impose a limit here. Dag
