Mysql Large SQL query, snipped at 2,000 characters - mysql

Question

With the HeidiSQL db client, I am getting a large SQL query (4.0 KB), snipped at 2,000 characters error. Anyone know why this is the case and what i would need to change on the below table
Please let me know which sections of the code would need updating

Answer 1

Well, you can also just go to Tools > Preferences > Logging, and set the "lines in SQL log" setting to another value.
But as #doublesharp said, that's just a cosmetic thing. The query sent to the server is certainly not cut.

Answer 2

This seems to be a function of HeidiSQL and does not actually affect your query running. If it were generating errors or warnings, you would see them after the comment about your query being snipped at 2,000 characters.
See the source code here: http://code.google.com/p/heidisql/source/browse/trunk/source/main.pas?r=4127
prefLogSqlWidth := GetRegValue(REGNAME_LOGSQLWIDTH, DEFAULT_LOGSQLWIDTH);
Then the message is generate with this code
// Shorten very long messages
Len := Length(Msg);
snip := (prefLogSqlWidth > 0) and (Len > prefLogSqlWidth);
IsSQL := Category in [lcSQL, lcUserFiredSQL]; if snip then begin
Msg :=
Copy(Msg, 0, prefLogSqlWidth) +
'/* large SQL query ('+FormatByteNumber(Len)+'), snipped at ' +
FormatNumber(prefLogSqlWidth) +
' characters */';
end else if (not snip) and IsSQL then
Msg := Msg + Delimiter;
if not IsSQL then
Msg := '/* ' + Msg + ' */';
Seems like you can change this value in the registry (http://code.google.com/p/heidisql/source/browse/trunk/source/const.inc?r=4133)
REGNAME_LOGSQLWIDTH = 'logsqlwidth';
DEFAULT_LOGSQLWIDTH = 2000;
The key is probably located here HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HeidiSQL\Servers
