"max_identifier_length (integer)
Reports the maximum identifier length. It is determined as one less
than the value of NAMEDATALEN when building the server. The default
value of NAMEDATALEN is 64; therefore the default max_identifier_length
is 63 bytes, which can be less than 63 characters when using multibyte
encodings.
"
So:
production=# show max_identifier_length ;
max_identifier_length
-----------------------
63
