>synchronous_standby_name= is already 25 characters, so that leaves 115 characters - are they always single byte chars?
I am sorry, I did not get why there is a 140 byte limit. Can you please explain?
Hmm, sorry, I thought Robert had said there was a 140 byte limit. I misread.
I don't think that affects my point. The choice between formats is not solely predicated on whether we have multi-line support.
I still think writing down some actual use cases would help bring the discussion to a conclusion. Inventing a general facility is hard without some clear goals about what we need to support.
