154 Limit Size of Returned Data
155 ---------------------------

157 When selecting from the database, you can limit the number of rows
158 returned by adding the following to `interfaces.py`_::
159
160 from roundup.rest import RestfulInstance
161 RestfulInstance.max_response_row_size = 26
162
163 This will limit the setting of ``@page_size`` to 25 (one less than the
164 value). If the url includes a ``@page_size`` pagination value greater
165 than or equal to the ``max_response_row_size`` you will receive an
166 error like::
167
168 {
169 "error": {
170 "status": 400,
171 "msg": "Page size 30 must be less than admin limit on query
172 result size: 26."
173 }
