Subject: Make libpq on windows not try to send chunks larger than 64Kb.
X-Git-Url: http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/static/gitweb.js?a=commitdiff_plain;h=76271928efd31bf01efe6fa4e1615aa9faae5665;p=users%2Fbernd%2Fpostgres.git

Make libpq on windows not try to send chunks larger than 64Kb.

Per Microsoft knowledge base article Q201213, early versions of
Windows fail when we do this. Later versions of Windows appear
to have a higher limit than 64Kb, but do still fail on large
sends, so we unconditionally limit it for all versions.

Patch from Tom Lane.
