Hi all,
I was just looking at the Developer Docs for the "CREATE CONSTRAINT
TRIGGER" command in the SQL Commands reference section. Noticed it
doesn't include a mention of the maximum length of the trigger "name"
field (31 characters). I reckon this should be mentioned, and we should
also probably mention it for other similar things in the SQL Commands
reference section.
Regards and best wishes,
Justin Clift

It's the same as every other name. Do you want us to repeat the whole
of
http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/sql-syntax.html#SQL-SYNTAX-IDENTIFIERS
in every CREATE command's reference page? I don't think that'd be
an improvement.

No need for overkill. Its just nice to mention the maximum length of
the name in the reference page for the commands. :)
