Did you know what is the maximum character length for a name of :
a database or schema ?
a table or a view ?
a column ?
a constraint ?
an index ?
thanks

All the same, there is only one "identifier" type.

It got bigger recently, but it's either 31 or 63 characters... Look

It's been 63 characters since 7.2 or 7.3. See
src/include/postgres_ext.h and look for NAMEDATALEN.
