Does Django care about max_query_params? [feature request]

[Ilya Gurov]

Hi, all!

Gotta problem with the number of query params. We're using a backend, which connects to a cloud database, and at some point we suddenly started getting such an error:

Number of parameters in query exceeds the maximum allowed limit of 950

Appearing on this step:

django/django/contrib/auth/management/__init__.py", line 83, in create_permissions
Permission.objects.using(using).bulk_create(perms)

950 query params is the max number for our backend, and we set the DatabaseFeatures.max_query_params to 900. Still, it looks like Django doesn't care.

Because of this all of our tests stopped working, bringing a lot of inconveniences during development. Seems to me that it should be fixed on Django side, centralized, 'cause it's unlikely we're the only who met and will meet the problem in future.

What db are you using? This might also be an issue for your db connector lib 

[Ilya Gurov]

It's Cloud Spanner. We're using `django_spanner` as a 3rd party connector: https://github.com/googleapis/python-spanner-django

seems like an open PR is addressing this.
