I just got bit by the identifier name is too long and will be truncated limitation in Postgresql. AFIAA there is a limit of 64 characters for identifiers (names of tables, sequences, indexes, etc...) I had just started to get in the habit of using serial data types until I made to tables with long names and the automatic sequence names that were generated conflicted, *ouch* ... Is there the possibility of a name conflict resolution during the table creation phase similar to "the name I want to assign is already taken, so I'll pick a different name..." on the serial data type?
