Is there any harm in putting in a massive number into the len parameter of the Read() method?

You cannot read more than 3641144 characters from a stream to a string, as this is the limit for long strings: String Length Limit

From the documentation for the Read() method:

If no len is passed in, ie. 'Read()' then it is up to the Read implementation as to
how much data to return. Some stream classes use this to optimize the amount of
data returned to align this with the underlying storage of the stream.

So you can write like this:
Set inMsg %request.Content.Read($$$MaxLocalLength)

Macros are defined in %msql.inc:

#define MaxStringLength 3641144
#define MaxLocalLength $zutil(96,39)

See the answers here.

In addition there are a few comments:

there are a few comments:

  • you can write shorter:
    Property CarNumber As %String(TRUNCATE 1) [ SqlComputeCode = {{*}=$s(Clear:$$Decrypt({CAR_Number}),1:{CAR_Number})}, SqlComputedSqlFieldName CAR_Number ];
  • you can make a separate calculated field for the decrypted value, for example:
    Property CarNumber As %String(TRUNCATE 1) [ SqlFieldName CAR_Number ];
    
    Property CarNumberDecr As %String(TRUNCATE 1) [ CalculatedSqlComputeCode = {{*}=$s(Clear:$$Decrypt({CAR_Number}),1:{CAR_Number})}, SqlComputedSqlFieldName CAR_NumberDecr ];
  • where do you get the value of the Clear variable (see above)?
  • you can create your own data type for encrypted strings and override the corresponding methods there: How Data Type Classes Work

    In this case, you will not have to clutter up your queries with unnecessary encryption/decryption operations.

  • to transfer JDBC/ODBC settings, you can still use external tools, for example DbVisualizer or SQL Data Lens, where you can choose the data format (CSV, XML, JSON, Excel, etc.), the necessary fields and much more.

Did you copy/paste the query correctly here?

Select Books.nam,Books.print,Books.Relativename,Books.Firstpage,Books.Lastpage,Books.trn,Books.lastissue,

INNER JOIN SQLUser.Records Records ON Books.id=Recordsid
INNER JOIN SQLUser.OrderedBooks OrderBooks ON Books.id=OrderBooks.id
INNER JOIN SQLUser.OrderedRecords OrderRecords ON Books.id=OrderRecords
INNER JOIN SQLUser.Orders Orders ON Books.id=Orders.id

where ((Records.qw=OrderBooks.qw) and (Records.er is null))

In addition to tuning tables, I would first look at the query plan and, accordingly, the indexes involved in it.

It is necessary to take into account the following points:

  • according to the documentation should be
    // add the columns to export
    Do mgr.ColumnNames.Insert("Closed")
    Do mgr.ColumnTypes.Insert("N")
       
    Do mgr.ColumnNames.Insert("DocumentType")
    Do mgr.ColumnTypes.Insert("S")
       
    Do mgr.ColumnNames.Insert("StatusCode")
    Do mgr.ColumnTypes.Insert("N")
       
    Do mgr.ColumnNames.Insert("StatusLastUpdated")
    Do mgr.ColumnTypes.Insert("TS")
  • StringQuote only affects when escaping the corresponding characters, for example:
    • Set mgr.StringQuote $c(34) // double quotes
      a"b -> "a""b"
    • Set mgr.StringQuote $c(39) // '
      a'b -> 'a''b'
  • DateFormat and TimeFormat are applicable only for fields of type D and T, respectively, but you have a field of type TS
  • TimeStampFormat is applicable only for import, but not for export

I'm looking at the output validation code, not Output, where there are no spaces at all on the right. It is a pity that there is confusion because of this!

I'll put in my five cents too.

Firstly, Apache for Windows is installed very easily: you just need to unpack the archive and, if necessary (this is done once), register the service.
Secondly, it is not difficult to find the Apache distribution for Windows, for example here: Apache Haus Downloads
Thirdly, I always remove PWS and use my own Apache, so I welcome removing PWS from the IRIS distribution

It is not entirely clear that you are using Caché or IRIS 2021.1:

#Caché

I have two tables: one a local table using cache and the other is via an SQL gateway..

Product version: IRIS 2021.1

The presence/absence of restrictions on the execution of heterogeneous queries depends on this:
