Yes, it can. Internally our varchars allow strings up to 64KB, but this is not always respected in other layers, hence the official limit of 32KB (for the safety sake). >> 2. What was broken? >> 3.

Then Ivan Prenosil complained that 64KB literals were working OK before that change and we discovered that it's really safe to leave the 64KB limit for literals. As already correctly noted, such literals cannot be assigned to anything but a blob.
