Re: PQexec() 8191 bytes limit and text fields

First, are you using the latest PG? I was under the impression that all
the hard-coded limitations on size had been eliminated in the latest
releases. I know for an absolute fact that I can insert multi-megabyte sized
text chunks in PG 7.1.2 as I've done just that before...

Good luck!
