Hi Tom,
DBI itself has no control over this. It's DBD::Sybase, and more precisely what
DBD::Sybase tells OpenClient to do.
You need to rebuild your DBD::Sybase binary with the 15.x OpenClient
installation, and you need to use a version of DBD::Sybase that is recent
enough to understand CS_VERSION_150 or CS_VERSION_CURRENT (1.09 or later, I
believe).

Subject: Sybase 15.0
Tim,
We migrated our Sybase database (AIX) to 15.0.2 about 2 years ago. We also
use Open Client 15.0 and
everything works, mostly. We have been butting up against the 30 character
limit for object names when
running scripts through Perl (5.6) ever since. Most of the time we simply
rename things to be 30
characters or less. This is now becoming somewhat of a pain. Is it
possible to recompile/tweak/modify
something in the Perl DBI code to get around this? Keep in mind that I am
NOT a Perl developer (he
left!) but am tasked with trying to get this fixed. We found some C code
that uses Sybase.h, and we
assume that somewhere in all that is the datatype restriction that limits
the object names to 30
characters. Can a newer header file be used to recompile the dll or am I
barking up the wrong tree?
Any help or direction you could give us would be great. Surely someone has
Sybase 15.0 and Perl 5.6
working with long object names...
Thanks,
Tom Mackin
