I understand the Limit 'Bytes per string column' for SQL 2000 is 8000. Any Idea whether it is the same for VIEWS? Is there a Limit?Thanks! |

Well you could always just use text if you need to go beyond the limitation. SQL 2005 provides the varchar(max) data type.Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/ |

So Is there a limitation of 8000 on views too? |

Sorry.... What I meant is... the Bytes per row limit is 8060 and whether that will apply also for views?Thanks ! |
