Batch statement execution - regarding

[PNS Subramanian]

We use Sybase Adaptive enterprise server.

Is there any limit on the number of sql queries that can be executed using a batch statement ? Would there be a performance hit if the number of queries exceeds a certain value ?

If there is, it is so high that you wouldn't hit it in practice.

Yes. We've experienced this on several servers. I think it has to do with memory. We had to experiment to see where the optimal number of queries was.
