Field Name Length in Enterprise GDB (SQL Server)

[HaniDraidi]

When I copy a feature class from file GDB to SQL Server enterprise GDB, some fields (their names contain more than 33 characters) are trimmed in the enterprise GDB.

What is the allowed field name length in enterprise GDB? Can I change it?

Thank you in advance,

Hani

Hi Hani,

Unfortunately, field names are limited to 31 characters for SQL Server geodatabases:

However, the field alias can be greater than 31 characters.

Many Thanks for the Clarification Jake

Has there been any development on this limitation?

There hasn't been, and I don't expect there will be for a while longer.  See the accepted answer on https://community.esri.com/thread/81043 for a bit more information.
