In QGIS software, the "vector layer" has "attribute" but the name length is limited to only 10 Characters. Is there any method to name an "attribute" to a longer name? (e.g. attribute name "building name" become "building n" in QGIS layer attribute table)
My layer define dialog window is as below

This is a (bad) limitation of the ESRI Shapefile format.
Not much you can do with it but change the underlying format, maybe try SpatiaLite.

Just for clarity, the limitation is directly tied to the DBF file format, which the shapefile format happens to implement. As stated above, if you need/want longer file names, you'll need to choose a different storage format.
