SUMMARY
The maximum length of a server name that can be specified when calling the DB-Library dbopen function is thirty characters. If a longer string is specified as the servername argument, only the first thirty characters will be used when attempting to resolve the name and connect to SQL Server.

MORE INFORMATION
Note that the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path to the network resource can be much longer than thirty characters. The thirty character limit only exists on the server name passed to dbopen, NOT the pipe or network resource name.

Additional query words: dblib
