[BioSQL-l] bioentry.name and bioentry.identifier only 40 characters?

[Peter]

Hi All,

In BioSQL v1.0.1, fields bioentry.accession and dbxref.accession were
increased from 40 to  128 characters.  See
http://lists.open-bio.org/pipermail/biosql-l/2008-August/001311.html

However, bioentry.name and bioentry.identifier are still only 40
characters - which seems a bit short, given that BioPerl's
load_seqdatabase.pl seems to put the full contents of a FASTA
identifier (up to the first space) in both bioentry.name and
bioentry.identifier fields.  I've just been dealing with Biopython and
loading FASTA files into BioSQL (Bug 2425) and a similar concern
applies here.

Has anyone had any real world problems with the bioentry.name and
bioentry.identifier fields being too small?

Peter
