After reviewing the What’s new pages for ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Enterprise to learn about new functionality and changes in the software, you may have discovered a new feature you want to use. Your organization may also apply a patch to your ArcGIS applications that targets quality and performance improvements in the software. While you can use many new features just by having the latest ArcGIS client, there are instances where a corresponding geodatabase upgrade is required to use new functionality and patches that introduce quality and performance fixes.

The limit on database object name size is the smaller of either the limit enforced by the database management system or the geodatabase limit. Limits vary from one database management system to the next. The types of characters allowed in object names vary by database management system but are also affected by how ArcGIS stores and queries the object information.
