Bug report #8241
Updated by Jürgen Fischer almost 7 years ago
*New description:*
a few tools in the vector menu are unable to cope with attributes with names of > 10 chars. The tools are
doGeoprocessing.py
intersect
union
symetrical_difference
doSpatialJoin.py
spatialjoin
Please see #8241-3 "note !#3":https://issues.qgis.org/issues/8241#note-3 for a detailed description

Old description:
I have a PostGIS table with a field name that has more than 10 characters in the name. The Symmetrical difference feature fails with a message that simply advises of this problem but gives no solutions.
I really, really need to keep descriptive field names in the original data, so renaming fields is very undesirable.
I can think of a few workarounds, but seems like it would be easy to just use a truncated field name, with a check to ensure the truncated field name dos not duplicate any other field names.
