Hello,

There aren't good solution for this ...

You can have a look at :
docs.limesurvey.org/General+FAQ&#regarding_survey_size

Can you change the survey ? Can you split the survey ?

What is your actual SQL server ?

Hi

Thanks for the reply.

I have MySQL ISAM in which columns in a table may be up to 64KB.
So I tried splitting up the survey into two survey 1 and survey 2 and it worked :)

But I wanted to bind both surveys in any way, So I included a question in survey 2 which is always hidden and then passed a value from survey 1 to that question using a php file in between :) :) Now its working fine :)
