Index Name Exceeds Maximum Allowed

Question

I'm using the IKM Oracle Incremental Update and it creates a unique index on my interface table. The problem is that the interface table is i$_<Table Name>. The index is then created as i$_<Table Name>_idx.  The table I am working with is already 25 characters and the maximum allowed on Oracle (10g) is 30.  Is there a setting that I need to change or do I have to customize the knowledge module?
Thank you,
Troy

Answer 1

So you can try to remove a few char without changing a lot of thing.
For exemple you can modifiy the Unique Index procedure of your IKM Oracle Incremental Update.
I think you have this in the Index procedure:
create unique index <%=snpRef.getTable("L","INT_NAME","W")%>_idx on <%=snpRef.getTable("L","INT_NAME","W")%> (<%=snpRef.getColList("", "[COL_NAME]", ",", "", "(UK)")%>)
<%=snpRef.getUserExit("FLOW_TABLE_OPTIONS")%>
Which return you the the name of your index like i$_<Table Name>_idx
if you change what is in bold in the script you can remove 5 char and maybe it woulb be good for you.
By replacing INT_NAME by TARG_NAME you can obtain an index nammed <Table Name>_idx which remove 3 char
and after that you can change the "_idx" by "IX" which will give you <Table Name>IX and which remove 2 more char
so the procedure will look like :
create unique index <%=snpRef.getTable("L","TARG_NAME","W")%>ID on <%=snpRef.getTable("L","INT_NAME","W")%> (<%=snpRef.getColList("", "[COL_NAME]", ",", "", "(UK)")%>)
<%=snpRef.getUserExit("FLOW_TABLE_OPTIONS")%>
--> Evidently you can change a lot of other things to obtain less char for the name of your index
