Does CAML Query has a default RowLimit value?

Question

I am wondering wether SharePoint CAML Query has a default Rowlimit value. I have created a list which will contain more than 10 000 items in a near future. I use a CAML Query on client-side to export the items to a custom file. The query does not specify any RowLimit.

So will the query succeed if I have more than 10 000 items in my list ?

Answer 1

The success of query execution depends on 'List View Threshold' settings:). If 'List View Threshold' is greater than number of items in the list then you should be fine. Maybe it is a good idea to use paging with queries that returns such big amount of results?
