Description

With a large join or long table names, postgres will truncate the aliases of the tables to 64 characters resulting in duplicate table names on the query. This makes the query unexecutable.

One solution is to shorten long alias names. I wrote something that modifies the alias when it is produced in db/models/query.py, but unfortunately, the join conditions get the alias as well, so the change will probably have to ultimately go into the SortedDict class to truncate and make the names unique in 64 characters there.

An alternate solution would be to prefix the aliases with incrementing numbers since the truncation will still preserve unique names for the aliases.

This is being fixed automatically on the queryset-refactor branch. All the aliases there look like T0, T1, etc. I'll close this when the branch is merged into trunk.

(In [7477]) Merged the queryset-refactor branch into trunk.

This is a big internal change, but mostly backwards compatible with existing
code. Also adds a couple of new features.
