There aer loads of ways around this: use shorter node types in my (cck) configuration,. Use shorter names that prepend the $type etcetc. But I am sure that a patch will not fix this. I mean, we can make the 'name' column longer, but there is a limit, we will hit at some time again. Making a field longer is IMO only patching the error, not the cause of the error.
Any good ideas for this? Should we start on a unique_name($string, $length) function? A function that will create unique names?

Well, for variables, since most are tied to one module or another why not just give them a module namespace? variable_get('usernodes', 'myvar', $default); That does a better job of avoiding name collision than we have now and keeps each column shorter. I'm pretty sure someone had a DEP at one point to rewrite the variable system that touched on this. Whoever it is, I apologize for forgetting your name. :-) -- Larry Garfield AIM: LOLG42 larry@garfieldtech.com ICQ: 6817012 "If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas Jefferson
