What is the default maximum value of rows returned without a limit statement in SAQL?

The default maximum value of rows returned without a limit statement in SAQL is 50,000. This means that when a query is executed without specifying how many rows to return, the system will automatically set a cap of 50,000 rows to optimize performance and ensure that resources are not overwhelmed by excessively large data sets.

This default setting is particularly important because it balances the need to provide enough data for analytical purposes while preventing slowdowns or crashes that can occur when dealing with very large volumes of data. For users, it ensures that they receive a manageable dataset that can be further refined or analyzed as needed.

Understanding this default behavior is crucial as it informs users that if they require more data than what is provided by the default limit, they should explicitly set a limit or revise their queries to better target the data they need.
