Hello,

There are other threads related to doc size (etc) limits for CouchDB 4.0, 
motivated by restrictions in FoundationDB, but we haven't discussed database 
name length and doc id length limits. These are encoded into FoundationDB keys 
and so we would be wise to forcibly limit their length from the start.

I propose 256 character limit for database name and 512 character limit for doc 
ids.

If you can't uniquely identify your database or document within those limits I 
argue that you're doing something wrong, and the limits here, while making FDB 
happy, are an aid to sensible application design.

Does anyone want higher or lower limits? Comments pls.

B.
