Russell Keith-Magee 64be8f29d5 Fixed #9253 -- Modified the method used to generate constraint names so that it is consistent regardless of machine word size.
NOTE: This change is backwards incompatible for some users.

If you are using a 32-bit platform, you will observe no differences as a
result of this change. However, users on 64-bit platforms may experience
some problems using the `reset` management command.

Prior to this change, 64-bit platforms would generate a 64-bit, 16 character
digest in the constraint name; for example:

ALTER TABLE `myapp_sometable` ADD CONSTRAINT `object_id_refs_id_5e8f10c132091d1e` FOREIGN KEY ...

Following this change, all platforms, regardless of word size, will
generate a 32-bit, 8 character digest in the constraint name; for example:

ALTER TABLE `myapp_sometable` ADD CONSTRAINT `object_id_refs_id_32091d1e` FOREIGN KEY ...

As a result of this change, you will not be able to use the `reset`
management command on any table created with 64-bit constraints. This
is because the the new generated name will not match the historically
generated name; as a result, the SQL constructed by the `reset` command
will be invalid.

If you need to reset an application that was created with 64-bit
constraints, you will need to manually drop the old constraint prior
to invoking `reset`.

Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development
and clean, pragmatic design.

All documentation is in the "docs" directory and online at
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/. If you're just getting started, here's
how we recommend you read the docs:

    * First, read docs/intro/install.txt for instructions on installing Django.

    * Next, work through the tutorials in order (docs/intro/tutorial01.txt,
      docs/intro/tutorial02.txt, etc.).

    * If you want to set up an actual deployment server, read
      docs/howto/deployment/modpython.txt for instructions on running Django
      under mod_python.

    * You'll probably want to read through the topical guides (in docs/topics)
      next; from there you can jump to the HOWTOs (in docs/howto) for specific
      problems, and check out the reference (docs/ref) for gory details.

Docs are updated rigorously. If you find any problems in the docs, or think they
should be clarified in any way, please take 30 seconds to fill out a ticket
here:
