Just to get a mental handle on the size of queries we might be
allowing before truncation, I did some very rough arithmetic on what
well known texts might fit in a megabyte. By my calculations you could
fit about four Animal Farms or one Madame Bovary in about a megabyte.
So I think that seems like more than enough :-). (My mind kinda
explores at the thought of debugging a query as long as Animal Farm.)
