[GRASS-user] v.extract fails for long strings in sql where or cat

[Mira Kattwinkel]

Dear list,

is there a max length in the where statement for v.extract?

I want to extract many line features depending on the value of an id 
field and get:

"[Errno 7] Argument list too long: 'v.extract'" when I run v.extract 
with a long sql statement.

It works if I use id < 70000, hence the number of extracted items is not 
the problem. However, this does not help because I need a selection like 
"id in (1,5,7,...,70000)". Similarly, cat = 1-70000 works but cat = 
1,2,3,....,70000 does not.

I found an old posting about this 
(https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-user/2010-January/054361.html) 
and wonder if anything has changed since then and if there is any work 
around if not.

I am running GRASS 7.8.5 on Linux Mint 19.

Thanks a lot,

Mira
