Thanks, I applied the patch.

As for allowing more characters, this is only needed when creating a user. So 
I have a little more work, but I will do it.

I plan to *remove* from the gb.db component the support for users classes, 
because it is not very useful.

I will just let the database manager having one user management module 
specific to each database backend. This way, one will able to manage the 
rights of the database users more accurately.

What do you think about that?
