Oracle SQL statements are restricted to 4000 chars, as are oracle varchar 
datatypes, but I'm using ODBC and LONG datatypes. I've replicated the same 
issue on NT4/IIS4/CF4.0/SQLServer7

Have done some further testing - CF variables are not limited to 64,999 
chars (even form variables). It appears to be an ODBC issue. I know this 
ain't strictly a CF question, but anyone know if there is a limit to the 
size of single value in an ODBC SQL statement?


Thanks again

Mark
