Longer index names

[Bud]

When creating an enterprise geodatabase index in ArcGIS Pro:

If I enter an index that is longer than 16 characters, ArcGIS Pro automatically truncates the index (to 16 chars):

• The index name I wanted: a2345678901234567
• The index name I got:        a234567890123456

Most enterprise databases now support object names that are 128 characters long (example: Oracle was 30, now 128).

The 16-character limit in ArcGIS Pro is too short. When we have hundreds of tables with multiple indexes, we need long index names so that we can clearly describe and differentiate between like-indexes.

Could Esri please consider supporting longer index names when creating indexes via ArcGIS Pro?

Does ArcGIS Enterprise still impose a limit of 16 characters for attribute index names?

@BillFox This limitation is still in place in Enterprise and mobile GDBs. 

The work to remove this limitation is under consideration.

Thanks everyone for your contributions to this Idea. 

In ArcGIS Pro 3.6, max index name length in Enterprise Geodatabases now mirrors the max index length supported by the RDBMS.
