does suiteql support the LIMIT clause? when I add a LIMIT 100 to the end of my query it fails with
syntax error, state:1225(10102) near: LIMIT(4,40, token code:0)

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
Based on the conversations, it appears that SuiteQL does not directly support the
LIMIT
clause. Instead, you can use
SELECT TOP 5
or
WHERE ROWNUM <= 5
to limit the number of results returned by your query. However, please note that you cannot combine
ORDER
and
TOP
unless you do a nested query. The
TOP
should be in the outer query and the
ORDER
in the nested query. Also, it's important to note that SuiteQL has a limit of 100,000 records per query. If you need to retrieve more than 100,000 records, you'll need to segment your query. For example, you can index through the dates in your
WHERE
clause to ensure you always have less than 100,000 results. As for the string length of a query result, it seems that there might be a limit of 249 or 250 characters. However, this limit can be bypassed by using SuiteQL and creating the column as a formula with
to_char({longtextfield})
. Here is an example of how to do this:
Copy code
javascript
newQuery.createColumn({
  formula: 'to_char({longtextfield})',
  type: query.ReturnType.STRING,
  alias: 'datafield'
})
