+      queried.
+
+      Example, query the maximum length of an SQL statement::
+
+         import sqlite3
+         con = sqlite3.connect(":memory:")
+         lim = con.getlimit(sqlite3.SQLITE_LIMIT_SQL_LENGTH)

+
+   .. method:: setlimit(category, limit, /)
+
+      Set a connection run-time limit. *category* is the limit category to be
+      set. *limit* is the new limit. If the new limit is a negative number, the
+      limit is unchanged.
+
+      Attempts to increase a limit above its hard upper bound are silently
+      truncated to the hard upper bound. Regardless of whether or not the limit
+      was changed, the prior value of the limit is returned.
+
+      Example, limit the number of attached databases to 1::
+
+         import sqlite3
+         con = sqlite3.connect(":memory:")
+         con.setlimit(sqlite3.SQLITE_LIMIT_ATTACHED, 1)
