Size Limit for ADO query?
 

We are running VB 6.0 using ADO to connect to an Oracle backend.
It seems continuations are limited to about 24 lines, so my rathe
large query is strung out hundreds of bytes lengthwise.
I'm getting an Oracle -923, from keyword not found where expecte
error.
The query runs in Toad when I take out the " " & _ continuatio
characters so I think it's ok.
Is there a byte restriction on the length of the ResultSet.ope
command, or a line length at which the query may be getting truncated?

Size Limit for ADO query?
 

Well - I figured out what was wrong... missing a space at the end so i
looked like
'last_col_to_selectfrom tbl1'

I'm still curious if there are any editing limitations, or size fo
queries, etc...
Also, is there another way to continue lines besides _ that will allo
for 25?

Size Limit for ADO query?
 

Hi Cesw,

We are running VB 6.0 using ADO to connect to an Oracle backend.
It seems continuations are limited to about 24 lines, so my rather
large query is strung out hundreds of bytes lengthwise.
I'm getting an Oracle -923, from keyword not found where expected
error.
The query runs in Toad when I take out the " " & _ continuation
characters so I think it's ok.
Is there a byte restriction on the length of the ResultSet.open
command, or a line length at which the query may be getting truncated?

When building lengthy SQL statements, I generally do something like the
following:

Dim sSQL As String

sSQL = ""
sSQL = sSQL & " SELECT Field1, Field2"
sSQL = sSQL & " FROM Table"
sSQL = sSQL & " WHERE Field1 200"

Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
rs.Open sSQL, mConn

Size Limit for ADO query?
 

Size limit for a single SQL statment in Oracle is quite large - either 32
or 64 k I think.
There's no limit on using _ as far as I know. You could always store the
query in a file and use replace() to substitute parameter values for
placeholder text.
