Sets the limit for the maximum number of bytes that can be returned for character and binary column values in a ResultSet object produced by this Statement object. This limit applies only to BINARY, VARBINARY, LONGVARBINARY, CHAR, VARCHAR, NCHAR, NVARCHAR, LONGNVARCHAR and LONGVARCHAR fields. If the limit is exceeded, the excess data is silently discarded. For maximum portability, use values greater than 256.

Parameters:

max the new column size limit in bytes; zero means there is no limit

Exceptions:

SQLException if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed Statement or the condition max >= 0 is not satisfied
