Re: Witango-Talk: Variable/String Limits

[Erik Gorka]

Good point. No, this isn't from a datasource. It is a constructed  
string of true/false statements. For example "(False or True and True)  
or False" where there can be several hundred true false items with  
operands and parantheses. The reasons are complicated, but my biggest  
concern in this is string limits.

From my own tests - just creating arbitrarily large strings and seeing  
if I can manipulate them (it's good to have a development server you  
can crash) - I suspect that Jason Schulz is right and that it is  
limited only by available memory.

From the Manual, for ItemBufferSize:

-------------
"Specifies the size, in bytes, of the largest column value that can be
retrieved from a data source. You need to increase this value only if  
you
need to retrieve large values. The default value is 65535 (64K)."
-------------

This "ItemBufferSize" limitation is specifically about how much data  
can be
retrieved from a single column (cell) from a datasource lookup.

If this is how you are supplying the string value for your variable,  
then
this is the setting.

But...if you are supplying the string value from some other process,  
then
the variable store size is not limited by, or associated with, this  
setting.
So, if there is a limit, then it is controlled by something else.

Hope this helps. Cheers.....

I may be wrong, but I think that it is the same as the
configuration variable called "ItemBufferSize", which is
defaulted to 64K.

Does anybody know how many characters a variable can hold in
Tango 2000
or Witango 5? In other words, what is the maximum string
size possible?
I can't find any references in the manuals, but my tests so
far shows
that it is quite large.

Thanks in advance!

Erik
