Whilst we're using 4.1.4 for most of our development, on e of our developers
who works remotely has been using 3.23.52 for his development. In trying to
migrate his database onto 4.1.4 (or 4.1.7) we appear to have hit an
introduce restriction in 4.1.x.
 
It appears that the length of the column names has a direct relationship to
the number of columns allowed in a table. In the 3.23.52 database we have
1200+ columns in a table. With the same length name in 4.1.4 we can get
about 200. If we restrict the name to 4 characters we can get approx 2600
columns. Is this a bug or and undocumented feature change?
 
We're using MyIASM tables.
