Because of the naming scheme used by the through model you can easily exceed the 64 character limit for the index name on MySQL. django-1.1 did not have this problem because it created an index with 'ALTER TABLE %s ADD CONSTRAINT %s FOREIGN KEY (%s) REFERENCES %s (%s)%s;' for which the name is already truncated. Syncdb only generates an error but does not stop so this is only a minor inconvenience. The attached patch truncates the index name if applicable and sets the max_name_length for mysql to 64.",,closed,"Database layer (models, ORM)",1.2-beta,,duplicate,,,Unreviewed,1,0,0,0,0,0
