I've tried using both PreparedStatement and regular Statement modes with a 450 character string:
SELECT response, last_requested FROM dataweb_response_cache WHERE request = 'long string here' and SELECT response, last_requested FROM dataweb_response_cache WHERE request = ? (PreparedStatement form) and I consistenly get parse error around LIKE or = (I've tried both) though the same query works fine in short string form anyway with psql (haven't tried long string form, will if advised). The short string I substituted for the long string otherwise had all of the quirks of the long string ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
