Is there a lenght limit to $_sql? by sbeelis - 2013-07-02

Is there a length limit to $_sql?

I have the following code in my macro

GSK

$_sql = "update caches set userflag = 1 where code in ($list)" $status = Sqlite("sql", $_sql)

Where $list is a comma separated list of GC-codes. This works nicely for a few dozen caches, but when I tried with a list of 318 codes I get the following error:

QUOTE

Note that $_sql is cut off in the middle of a GC code, causing the error.

I assume from this that there is a length limit to $_sql.

As my list will grow up to several thousand GC-codes I guess I'll have to find a different solution (setting the user flag for each code instead of adding it to the list).
