Max length of Attribute/Entity

Question

Hello!

I want create name of Attribute more than 50 characters, but MDS does not do it. Is it possible?

Answer 1

It is not possible in the current release (2012/2014).

Since the name is used in staging table as column name, and there is a hard limitation of length as 128.

In SQL vnext release, we are considering to lose the name length limitation to 100 and as well as add DisplayName which supports up to 250 with supports for all special characters.

Answer 2

When will release?)

Answer 3

There will be public CTP sometime this year. I will post the details when the publish is finalized.

Answer 4

Any new information?

Answer 5

Yes It is possible, but for this you will have to update values in meta data tables and three procedure for Attribute Name length increment i havenot tried for Entity that need to be figure out.

Answer 6

Sure that is a possible "thing" but in no way supported from what I can imagine.

You are the changing an internal part of the system. ...
