It's hardly silent: regression=# prepare foo1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890 as select 1; NOTICE: identifier "foo1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890" will be truncated to "foo123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890" PREPARE > Wouldn't it be good to include that information on the prepared statement > doc page?
