As per oracle documentation and from OCI console GUI, autonomous database name is 30 characters max. However, when using cli command as per documentation here: https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/tools/oci-cli/3.25.1/oci_cli_docs/cmdref/db/autonomous-database/create.html, it's only allow 14 characters.

Research direction

Start with the OCI CLI autonomous-database create command and compare its db_name validation with the linked Oracle naming documentation. Confirm the discrepancy between the 14-character limit and the documented 30-character maximum, then update the validation and add or adjust coverage for a 30-character name.
