xchange2db silently truncates Interface URNs at 64 characters

[chaos@bbn.com]

I submitted XML (full submission at ​http://codepad.org/6LU040KO) containing these interfaces:

                <interface name="urn:publicid:IDN+rothe002am.gpolab.bbn.com+interface+navis.gpolab.bbn.com:eth0" state="Unknown">
                        <address type="IPv4">
                                192.1.249.166
                        </address>
                        <address type="MAC">
                                fa:ca:de:5a:e6:a8
                        </address>
                </interface>
                <interface name="urn:publicid:IDN+rothe002am.gpolab.bbn.com+interface+navis.gpolab.bbn.com:eth1.1750:42143" state="Unknown">
                        <address type="IPv4">
                                10.42.143.55
                        </address>
                </interface>

Both interface names show up in the database as:

urn:publicid:IDN+rothe002am.gpolab.bbn.com+interface+navis.gpola

• The interface name field should probably allow a length limit of 128 characters to support URNs better
• If a submission has a too-long interface name, xchange2db should reject it rather than truncating it

Mitch increased the interface name field length limit on gmoc-db2 to 255 characters today.

Mitch actually set the field length limit on gmoc-db2 to 128, not 255.

He plans to update gmoc-db to 128 as well as part of Monday's maintenance.

The interface URN length limit is now 128 characters on gmoc-db as well. I still think truncation shouldn't be silent, but that's not this moment's problem, so i'm going to close this.
