number characters on the command line

["Keith D. Evans" <evans(at)umbc(dot)edu>]

Dear novices,

I searched the database but none of questions/answers seemed to apply to 
this problem.

I am using select to select data (duh!) but I am specifying a large 
WHERE clause to localize my search. It seems that when I have entered 
more than 256 characters and hit enter, I get a syntax error at or near 
character 1. When I do \p, to display the query, it shows the portion of 
the command that exceeds the max query length (which is how I discovered 
the max length). How can I use more than 256 characters in my select 
command?

I am using 7.4.1.

thanx,
keith
