I know folks on the board like to think that 255 is 'absurdly huge' for a
field count limit, but that just isn't true for large domains of data. In
this case a Z/OS systems database. An example...
NAME COLNO
------------------++------
SQA_SP245_B16M_MIN 255
SQA_SP245_B16M_AVG 256
SQA_SP245_B16M_MAX 257
CSA_SIZE_A16M 258
CSA_SIZE_B16M 259
SQA_SIZE_A16M 260
SQA_SIZE_B16M 261
Table of course could be broken up by sub-pool (SP*), but that isn't
normalization, that's just concession. there are plenty more examples. In
this case the database is Tivoli Decision Support.
Does the limit on field count get any greater on levels above 2003? I'd
hate to think about putting a bunch of views in the catalog tables to support
a weakness in Access.
