- Description
The installer supports a hardcoded maximum of 16 characters for the database username, while the database name itself is unrestricted in length.
This causes trouble in some when not most environments, especially hosting.
Most panels use a prefix for database user & name so a restriction in length can fastly cause trouble.For example my company uses plesk and we have resellers that set the prefix of database-name / -user to a string with more than 16 characters, leaving no place for the actual "name". Also some customers set their "name" part to some lengthy strings. This already causes troubles on installation with tikiwiki through the installer.
