[GENERAL] ERROR: DefineQueryRewrite.

Dear all,

I'm having trouble with a very long (i.e. a lot of columns) table.

I am trying to create a view on this tablke that will select approximately
30 columns and alias them (alias as in select rep_mal_insitu_ductal as
"ductal").

The column names are very long (hence the need to alias). When I try and
create the view I get:

ERROR: DefineQueryRewrite: rule plan string too big.

However, if I cut off some of the columns in the 'create view' statement,
it works fine (i.e. it's not a syntax problem).

I've tried getting around this by writting an sql script and running it
using \i but I get the same problem. I'm running 6.3.2 under IRIX 5.3.

Is there a way around or am I going to have to redesign my tables.

Thanks for any help you may provide.

Cheers,

Stuart.
