Command identifiers are also 32-bit quantities. This creates a hard limit
of 2<superscript>32</> (4 billion) <acronym>SQL</acronym> commands
within a single transaction. In practice this limit is not a
problem &mdash; note that the limit is on number of
<acronym>SQL</acronym> commands, not number of rows processed.
Also, as of <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> 8.3, only commands
that actually modify the database contents will consume a command
identifier.
