As a user, I feel I would look for such information in appendix like "A Database limits" in Oracle's Database Reference
manual:


https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/18/refrn/database-limits.html#GUID-ED26F826-DB40-433F-9C2C-8C63A46A3BFE

As a somewhat related topic, PostgreSQL doesn't mention the maximum values for numeric parameters.  I was asked several
timesthe questions like "what's the maximum value for max_connections?" and "how much memory can I use for work_mem?"
Idon't feel a strong need to specify those values, but I wonder if we should do something.
