There are a few interesting things in software development that you’ll generally only learn about by working on “certain” types of applications. Take, for example, the HTTP 414 “Way Too F#%&ing Long” response: there’s no standardized upper limit and many web servers don’t even document how long GET requests may be.

While working with his company's service desk application, Ben noticed a similar type of error message come from SQL Server.

It was Error 191 — another error with no (seemingly) documented upper limit — and was triggered by the following query.
