Subject: Doc: correct misstatement about ltree label maximum length.
X-Git-Tag: REL_10_13~59
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e4e07cca5a8a86bedcd874a6f674550407d35555;p=thirdparty%2Fpostgresql.git

Doc: correct misstatement about ltree label maximum length.

The documentation says that the max length is 255 bytes, but
code inspection says it's actually 255 characters; and relevant
lengths are stored as uint16 so that that works.
