"ClientInputError : Failed to read query. Exceeded max size limit of 10240 with response size 10241"

QUESTION:

I am getting this error:

• "ClientInputError : Failed to read query. Exceeded max size limit of 10240 with response size 10241" 

How do I resolve?

ANSWER:

• Salesforce has a 10K character limit on SOQL queries, and this error is seen when the limit has been exceeded. 
• The only workaround is to attempt the same export using MassEffect and do not use the Bulk API option. 
• When the Bulk API option is de-selected, DemandTools is using the SOAP API where the character limit is 20K on SOQL queries.
