From BOL:

quote:
ntext: Variable-length Unicode data with a maximum length of 2^30 - 1
text: Variable-length non-Unicode data in the code page of the server and with a maximum length of 2^31-1

another issue is you shouldn't be using either if you are 2005.

you should use varchar(max) and nvarchar(max) instead.
