Core, Enterprise, and Cloud allow database names up to 511 ASCII characters, with at most one slash as a v1 retention policy separator.
Dedicated and Clustered keep the 64-character limit; the shared naming page now shows each product its own rules and examples.

Applied in 3621daa — also updated the same two comments in the Dedicated/Clustered variant of the example. (automated follow-up)

… Cloud

Database names in InfluxDB 3 Core, Enterprise, and Cloud allow up to
511 ASCII characters (not 64), start with an ASCII letter or number,
and allow at most one forward slash as a database/retention policy
separator (not first or last).
Gate the 64-character rule in the shared naming-restrictions page to
products that use the iox engine (Cloud Dedicated, Clustered).

Source: validate_db_name in the Enterprise (July 2026 checkout) and
Core http.rs; iox namespace_name.rs for the 64-character products.

Co-Authored-By: Claude
Core and Enterprise reject a leading underscore, so drop "not
recommended" there and keep each product's examples in a single block.

Apply review suggestion to both product variants of the example.
