…higher Follow rsim#1703. Oracle enhanced adapter supports longer identifier by rsim#1703. I encountered the following error when using `rename_table` in Oracle 12c. ```console New table name 'identifier_of_thirty_bytes_or_more' is too long; the limit is 30 characters ``` Because `IDENTIFIER_MAX_LENGTH` constant was fixed to 30 bytes. This PR will use `max_identifier_length` method instead of the constant and accept longer identifier (max 128 bytes) when using Oracle 12.2 or higher. I encountered the error in Rails 6.0. So I'd like to backport to 6.1 and 6.0 stable branches.

Do you mean supports_longer_identifier?

Yes. It takes the result of ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::OracleEnhancedAdapter#supports_longer_identifier? as argument. Unfortunately no better name has come up yet.

I found that there will probably be breaking change in this PR. Please wait for a while due to I will investigate it. |

Sure. Although I have not checked this pull request in detail yet, In general, I prefer not to change method signature/arity for this requirement. Because the Oracle database version never changes per database connection. Also, I especially prefer not to change the method signature if it requires to backport to the older versions of Oracle enhanced adapter. Let's have some discussion if you have questions. Thank you. |

Is there any work that needs to be completed on this? If so, I'd be happy to help. I am eager to see this in a release! |

@mattalat, the biggest complaint I see is changing of the method signatures. Since identifiers are same for the whole connection, I think that probably detecting their length within the connection and then accessing that value wherever needed would resolve that. Also my suggestion would be to have a method that returns length of identifiers instead of |
