Actually, I'm right now working on a function with 88 parameters, which have to be passed through a temp table in 7.4. I've seen Oracle PL/SQL procedures with 140 parameters. While it's possible to work around this using row types, it's cumbersome, and extremely painful if you're porting an application. So if we can make this variable-length, I'd say set the limit at 400 to avoid TOASTing, but otherwise allow users as many parameters as they want. -- Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
