What's the reason for this line? Why truncate after 500 chars?
SQL queries can be extremely, extremely long, running to many kilobytes or even a megabyte plus. Platonides is right that one major culprit would be saving an article. They can also get really long if you have big IN lists or other things like that. 500 chars might be overly conservative, though.
