Just wondering, nowadays… :slight_smile:

SQL query? Depends on Server configuration.

With URL strings the situation is a bit different. The allowed length depends on Web Browser and on Web Server + Configuration. It can differ from lets say 1000 characters to a couple of thousands.

Generally, if you need to send larger amount of data to server then it is better to use POST method.
