The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/limits.html
Description:

Under page "https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/limits.html", below
limitations are mentioned:

field size - 1 GB
identifier length - 63 bytes

I understand "identifier" as the name we provide for tables, columns etc.

By the way, what is "field" in Postgresql? I don't see any official
page/explanation for this.
