Questions are:
1) How large a value can you pass into a parameter value? For
example, could it be a 50K block of text and not kill the processor.
Sure, why not?
2) If you were going to pass in certain types of text, I
assume you would have to use a method for escaping quotes, etc.
No, why? If it's a string, then it's restricted to characters permitted
by XML. But I would expect a large value normally to be structured, i.e.
to be XML, in which case you should parse the XML first and pass in the
document node.
Can someone elaborate on this for me so that I am clear of
any limitations in this regard.
Obviously limits will vary from one product to another.
