With a 10-character name, the same code prints `ERR_SQLITE_ERROR 25`. [`ERR_SQLITE_ERROR`](https://nodejs.org/api/errors.html#err_sqlite_error) is documented as \"An error was returned from SQLite.\" If the message can't be represented as a JS string, the error should fall back to `ERR_STRING_TOO_LONG` or to an `ERR_SQLITE_ERROR` with a truncated message.\n\n\n### What do you see instead?\n\n```console\n#\n# Fatal error\n# Check failed: String::kMaxLength >= len.\n#\n#\n#\n#FailureMessage Object: 0x16ce74ca8\n----- Native stack trace -----\n```\n\n### Additional information\n\n_No response_","author":{"url":"https://github.com/trivikr","@type":"Person","name":"trivikr"},"datePublished":"2026-10-05T01:43:01Z","url":"https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/66520"}
