Reasons for TM naming limitations? இழை இடுபவர்: Dominique Pivard

Heartsome imposes rather strict limitations regarding the name of TM's:
Spaces are not allowed, length can be 15 characters maximum. It's almost a trip back to DOS times in the 1980's! What are the reasons for such restrictions? All other modern CAT tools I'm aware of (including Java-based ones) are happy to use the OS's own limitations for file names, which in practice means pretty much anything goes.

As for me, I don't like silly long names, therefore short names -- 15 chars is enough -- are quite descriptive, should you be laconic.
Indeed, if you prefer names like "The 1234-th translation project made on the New Year Eve (2013 A.D.) by a clever translator, Dominique Pivard (Ph.D. from ), who specializes in Business/Commerce (general), Law (general), Finance (general) Forestry / Wood / Timber, Engineering (general), IT (Information Technology), Investment / Securities and oth...

This may caused by the length limitations of Oracle DB name.
We will try to make improvements for this! For example, Different DB will have different limitations.

Thanks for the explanation. If one of the supported databases imposes such limitations, it can make sense to use that same limitation for all databases, in case the user decides to migrate his/her DB at some point, for instant starts with an internal DB and moves to Oracle later on.
Speaking of the type of databases: what is your recommendation for a single user with large TM's (say, more than a quarter of a million entries)? Would performance be better with a dedicated database server (if so, which one?) than with the internal database?
| | | | | Select which kind of TM | Jan 7, 2013 |
For single user, we recommend you use internal DB. For translation team or enterprise, Mysql or Oracle will be a good choice.
For single user with large quantity of DB, Mysql or Oracle also can be an option, but the user may need certain IT knowledge to configure it.
You can wait with a little patience. I believe there will be good news for database support for Heartsome 8 in near future.
