query length

    I've searched for an answer to this, and just can't seem to find it.
What is the maximum length of a query passed in via the c interface? I
found reference to the effect that via ODBC there is no limit, but didn't
know if it broke up really long statements.

    Also, I don't mean individual select statements, but any sql query
statement, which could be several commands joined with a semi colon.

    Thanks!
