Oh I actually forgot to mention this. What I've been testing isn't just the creation of the database alone but also some basic CRUD operations. It is when I try to create a table that I get an exception if I have more than 3 Latin characters. The exception the server sees is essentially the same you observed on DERBY-4799.

For the record, I'm able to create databases with a lot more than three Latin characters, also more than 127, on 10.5.3.0 in my environment, so I think there are things that used to work that will stop working until the limit is increased. But as I said above, I'm +1 to the suggested approach. -- Knut Anders
