No, there isn't. But certain programming languages may have their own limits or issues, like slow speed or timeouts, although that can be fixed in many cases.
Your biggest problem may be that it can take a very long time for Web browsers to open a Web page with thousands of listbox items. They may timeout as well. It's a good practice to try to decrease the size of the HTML output rather than increase it

Should work.
Test the SQL result in the Visual Query Builder or outside of CCS.
If still not working post more details here like DB structure, data
and/or property settings for listbox.

If you have that many records then I'd recomment using a back-channel method like an iframe to populate the list box.
One of the things we do a lot of is have the selection of one list box passed via a querystring to an iframe, and then the code in the iframe changes the contents of the destination list box.
Sure their is another hit to the server but the server is then only sending down about 1k of javascript code.. insead of 10k of list boxes its very fast start up, and with good use of graphics like a turning cog wheel the end user really has not concerns re speed at all.
There is a example that has the clues in the example pack part 2
Take care
Dave
