Bug: Schema auto-migration fails on Postgres due to <max> varchar token mismatch

Description

When running automatic database schema migration via PostgresDataServiceExecutor.ensureSchema(ctx), the framework generates SQL DDL strings for varchar fields with a placeholder <max> (e.g. VARCHAR(<max>)).

Unlike SQL Server or other dialects, PostgreSQL does not recognize VARCHAR(<max>) as a valid type definition, throwing a BadSqlGrammarException during execution.

Expected Behavior

The Postgres database dialect executor should automatically replace any <max> placeholder string with a valid PostgreSQL type definition (such as VARCHAR(255) or TEXT).

Suggested Solution

Update PostgresDataServiceExecutor or its SQL formatter to automatically replace <max> varchar placeholders prior to DDL execution:

@Override
public void execute(String sql) {
    if (sql != null) {
        sql = sql.replace("<max>", "255");
    }
    super.execute(sql);
}
