Yes but any way, any *real* production installation will require to customize the database schema. I always thought that Tryton will never generate the perfect schema but only a minimal working schema. > What about a configuration option 'oracle_compatibility = True', that will > slug > the ususal names in a reproducible way? The problem is not oracle. The problem is the limitation that all databases have. But if you have a better solution, I will be graceful to evaluate. For example, a good algorithm to generate size compatible from Model name. -- Cédric Krier - B2CK SPRL Email/Jabber: cedric.kr...@b2ck.com Tel: +32 472 54 46 59 Website: http://www.b2ck.com/
