What is the maximum length of a table name in Oracle?

Question

What are the maximum length of a table name and column name in Oracle?

Answer 1

30 char (bytes, really, as has been stated).

But do not trust me; try this for yourself:

SQL> create table I23456789012345678901234567890 (my_id number);

Table created.



SQL> create table I234567890123456789012345678901(my_id number);


ERROR at line 1:

ORA-00972: identifier is too long

Updated: as stated above, in Oracle 12.2 and later, the maximum object name length is now 128 bytes.
