You don't have the datatype NOTE in Microsoft SQL Server. Only in Microsoft Access.
You have
1) VARCHAR(MAX) for SQL Server 2005
2) VARCHAR(8000) for both SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005
3) TEXT for both SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005

If you are asking how to comment in tsql, the prefix is -- |

If it's a long comment (multiple lines), you can enclose the whole block of text with:
/*
text here
and here
*/ |

Also, if you're talking about comments in the code, there is an icon in SQL Server Management Studio that will comment out any selected lines.
If you're not talking about commenting code, then you might be looking for extended properties...
You can add an extended property by using the sp_addextendedproperty procedure:
EXEC sp_addextendedproperty
@name = N'TableDescription', @value = 'This is a test table.',
@level0type = N'Schema', @level0name = 'dbo',
@level1type = N'Table', @level1name = 'tblTest';
(find out more about this proc: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms180047.aspx )
You can then retrieve it using fn_listextendedproperty
SELECT objtype, objname, name, value
FROM fn_listextendedproperty (NULL, 'schema', 'dbo', 'table', 'tblTest', default, default);
(find out more about this fn: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms180047.aspx )
Also, if you'd like to SELECT these extended properties from system tables, check out sys.extended_properties:
SELECT
A.type_desc,
A.name object,
B.name ExtendedProperty,
B.value
FROM sys.objects A
INNER JOIN sys.extended_properties B
ON A.object_id = B.major_id |

If your document were just text, the first set of suggestions regarding nvarchar(max) as your data type might be ok.
If your document is a word document, there is encoding in the document that would require you to save it as a blob data type.
While you can store the document directly in the database, it is a bit of work to marshall it to and from being a blob and document. But if this is what you really need...
A cheap and easy work around is to maintain the documents in a well thought out directory structure and simply maintain the filename and directory location in your db. |
