SQL Server: Maximum character length of object names

What is the maximum character开发者_StackOverflow社区 length of object name (e.g. constraint, column) in SQL Server 2008?

128 characters. This is the max length of the sysname datatype (nvarchar(128)).

Yes, it is 128, except for temp tables, whose names can only be up to 116 character long. It is perfectly explained here.

And the verification can be easily made with the following script contained in the blog post before:

DECLARE @i NVARCHAR(800)
SELECT @i = REPLICATE('A', 116)
SELECT @i = 'CREATE TABLE #'+@i+'(i int)'
PRINT @i
EXEC(@i)

You can also use this script to figure out more info:

EXEC sp_server_info

The result will be something like that:
