[HACKERS] SQL Request Size

2005-05-16 Thread Simon Riggs

What is the maximum SQL statement length that the server will accept?

The libpq message length identifier is 4 bytes, which indicates that the
max length is 4GB. But thats not exactly the same thing...

Most other systems have a SQL request size limit much smaller than this,
though I can't find reference to this. 

Thanks,

Best Regards, Simon Riggs

I've had problems with a query generated by slony that was a few hundred
kilobytes in size. It gave me query too complex error, probably
overflow somewhere in planner/optimiser.

There is no fixed limit, short of where you start to overflow memory
and/or stack depth.
