    Description

      Hi!

      Currently MariaDB's user names is limited to 16 characters, i would like know if it's possible to increase this default value to 20 or completely remove this useless limit

      This limit is really not usefull.

      Thank you!

            It has already been implemented.
            Starting with MariaDB 5.5.31, user names can be up to 80 characters, but it requires manual modification of system tables, see https://mariadb.com/kb/en/create-user/ for more details.
            In MariaDB 10.0, it is done by default.

            Oh, really nice!

            Why this is not implemented by default?

            It is implemented by default in 10.0.
            5.5 was far after GA by the time it was implemented, and it's too big a feature to put it into a stable GA version.
