Limit Error

I’m getting a limit error when trying to issue a large selectstatement to a remote server. I’ve heard this is due to a 2 GB datalimit for returns from select statements. Is this correct?I assume the work around is just to count the number of records beingreturned and then run a while loop until the number of rows sentequals the count?Cheers,Nick

yes, there’s a 2GB limit for a single ipc message.

If you are shipping 2GB messages around, you are probably not making the best use of kdb+; crunching data closest to the storage and returning concise results is where kdb+ excels.

If you need to work around the limit, then yes splitting into several messages is a solution.
