mysql语句的长度限制_在mysql中查询的长度是否有限制？

I am asking this question because I need to know this limitation as I am generating SELECT query in my PHP script and the part of WHERE in this query is generated inside the loop.

Precisely it looks like this

$query="SELECT field_names FROM table_name WHERE ";

$condition="metadata like \"%$uol_metadata_arr[0]%\" ";

for($i=1; $i

$condition.=" OR metadata like \"%$uol_metadata_arr[$i]%\" ";

}

$query.=$condition;

$result=mysql_query($query);

So, that's why I need to know how long my $query string can be, because the array $uol_metadata_arr could contain many items.

解决方案(if possible) Use WHERE metadata IN ('value1', 'value2')

You may need to increase max_allowed_packet. It defaults to 16MB (client-side, and as low as 1MB server-side in older versions), and it's not that hard to construct a query that runs up against that limit (e.g., importing data from elsewhere with a giant INSERT query)

LIKE '%string%' is a performance killer. Such a query can't use an index on that column. LIKE 'string%' on the other hand, is indexable
