TDS accepts very long queries; I'm not sure there's a limitation even in
4.2.  There was a report on October 3, 2006 that unixODBC's isql
truncates queries
[https://lists.ibiblio.org/sympa/arc/freetds/2006q4/020673.html].  I
think you'll find, though, that our tsql and bsqldb do not.  

If it's not an isql problem, you might want to post a TDSDUMP log here
to illustrate it.  If it is, you might want to report it.  :-)
