[DOCS] NAME maximum length in _bytes_

2012-05-08 Thread Bruce Momjian
psql \dTS+ shows for data type 'name':

 pg_catalog | name| name| 64   |  | 
| 63-character type for storing system identifiers

I believe this is really 63 bytes, not characters.  I also see it
mismatched in our docs:

in the internal system catalogs and is not intended for use by the general 
user. Its
length is currently defined as 64 bytes (63 usable characters plus
   --
terminator) but should be referenced using the constant
NAMEDATALEN in C source code.

Should I fix this?
