      Moodle 1.9.12 installed on Linux server, using Oracle 11.2.0.1.0, Apache 2.2.19 and PHP 5.3.6 Followed all the upgrade steps, logged in as admin on Moodle 2.1 web site to do upgrade and got oracle error.

      When upgrading Moodle 1.9.12 instance to version 2.1 I get the following oracle error when upgrading qtype_multichoice:

      Debug info: ORA-00972: identifier is too long
      UPDATE m_question_multichoice SET question = :o_question,layout = :o_layout,answers = :o_answers,single = :o_single,shuffleanswers = :o_shuffleanswers,correctfeedback = :o_correctfeedback,partiallycorrectfeedback = :o_partiallycorrectfeedback,incorrectfeedback = :o_incorrectfeedback,answernumbering = :o_answernumbering,correctfeedbackformat = :o_correctfeedbackformat,partiallycorrectfeedbackformat = :o_partiallycorrectfeedbackformat,incorrectfeedbackformat = :o_incorrectfeedbackformat WHERE id=:o_id
      [array (
      'o_question' => '249',
      'o_layout' => '0',
      'o_answers' => '460,461,462,463,464',
      'o_single' => '0',
      'o_shuffleanswers' => '1',
      'o_correctfeedback' => '',
      'o_partiallycorrectfeedback' => '1',
      'o_incorrectfeedback' => '',
      'o_answernumbering' => 'none',
      'o_correctfeedbackformat' => '1',
      'o_partiallycorrectfeedbackformat' => '0',
      'o_incorrectfeedbackformat' => '1',
      'o_id' => '125',
      )]
      Stack trace:
      line 396 of /lib/dml/moodle_database.php: dml_write_exception thrown

      line 1460 of /lib/upgradelib.php: call to upgrade_plugins()

      I notice that the bind variable o_partiallycorrectfeedbackformat is too long being more than 30 characters based on table column partiallycorrectfeedbackformat.

      How can I get the upgrade to complete? Every time I log in it tries to continue this step and produces this error.
      Can I fudge or comment out this field in moodle upgrade code so the upgrade completes?
