There's an 8K limit on the text of a submitted query (I hope to
eliminate that soon, but probably not in time for 6.5). As far as
I can think offhand, there is no a-priori limit on the size of a
query result in either columns or rows.
(Well, I notice a 16-bit column count in T messages, so the FE/BE
protocol will break at 32K or 64K columns in a result, but hopefully
no one will ever run into that...)
Have you tried it? An experiment would've taken less time than
querying the list, I'm sure.
