+      In Windows, the DBLIB from Microsoft is used.  Functions that return a
+      column name are based on the <literal>dbcolname()</literal> function 
+      in DBLIB.  DBLIB was developed for SQL Server 6.x where the max
+      identifier length is 30.  For this reason, the maximum column length 
+      is 30 characters.  On platforms where FreeTDS is used (Linux), this is
+      not a problem.
