I want to increase the maximum length of data I can extract from a long data type in a database. The default is 65K, which is too small. I set the maxmessage on the server, but that didn't solve the problem. I keep coming back with the maxmessage error from Comm.pm: Maximum message size of 65536 exceeded. Use 'maxmessage' option to increase I've played around with various settings in my dbi handle, but to no avail. Has anyone gotten this to work?
