Fernando was right. I increased the Max stack size from

$00010000
to
$00400000

and it is happy.

However, are there other reasons why I shouldn't raise the stack size? (ie, why isn't it higher by default)?

Thanks for the suggestion.

In D6 and D2006 my Max Stack size is $00100000 and you have $00010000. If your's isn't a typo then it looks as though something/someone changed it.

If it is a typo then whilst you've solved it I don't think the stack size was the real problem and I'd suggest upgrading your version of ElevateDB

Bryn,

update value is >~15000 characters (not usre exactly what the limit is). It
doesn't seem to matter what the characters are. >>

If you're using a lot of 'This '+' this '+' this '+' this ' type of
concatenation in the script, then that is the issue.  Each concatenation
causes the parser to recurse as it navigates the expression tree, so having
a lot of such concatenations can blow out the stack in your Delphi
application.  The solution is to use a parameterized script and pass in the
parameter as one string.

If you have any other questions, please let me know.
