Hibernate version: 3.2.0 GA

Name and version of the database you are using: Informix 9

I have two normal domain objects with a many-to-one relationship. When I try to do anything simple (like merge, etc...), the generated sql has identifier names that are longer than 18 characters, so informix pukes them out. Is there any setting to maintain the size of the identifier? If not, is there any work arounds to limit the size? The variable and class names aren't long. In fact, I'm having trouble understanding why these classes are giving me any trouble.

For the record, I'm using anotations and ejb3 in the application. There are a dozen other domains with normal to complex relationships, and all work. This one has given me a ton of trouble, though.

Any and all help is appreciated.

what do you mean by identifier? alias or actual column/table names?
if the latter, you can overridel their value using @(Join)Table and @(Join)Column
