[pg-devel] max message length unnecessary?

[Johan Ur Riise]

The limit seems to be unnecessary:

jur at lark:/usr/local/lib/common-lisp/systems/pg-cvs$ diff -u v3-protocol.lisp.orig v3-protocol.lisp

   (let ((sql (apply #'concatenate 'simple-string args)))
-    (when (> (length sql) +MAX_MESSAGE_LEN+)

     (%flush connection)
     (do-followup-query connection)))
jur at lark:/usr/local/lib/common-lisp/systems/pg-cvs$

The limit was in effect only under a transaction.

I just tried with 8MB and it works.
