Re: Max length of a query string



It's 64K * Network Packet size which defaults to 4K. I think it's been 64K
(at least) for some time now. A limit of 256 means that you would have some
difficulty building an INSERT or UPDATE statement that had lots of strings
or a SP of any size at all...

Used to be 256 characters, but I am not sure whether that still is the
limit, or not.

Hi,

I am wondering, is there any limitation for the length of a query string?

Thanks,

Lubomir
