Hi,
I need to select from a table which has text datatype. It is truncating values after 255 characters. I thought I saw some similar post here, but can't find it now.

Any ideas of how to retrieve the whole value?

TIA

Look up SET TEXTSIZE in BOL

But You'll also need to look at READTEXT, WRITETEXT, ect....

Why are you using Text?

Is this query analyser?
Tools, options, results, max chars per column

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
