On SQL Mobile 3.5 NTEXT Will Not Accept Data Above 4000 Characters... This Is Serious And Confirmed
Nov 7, 2007
When using SQL CE 3.5 and I try to insert data to DataSet with NTEXT type column that has more than 4000 characters I get this error
"InvalidOperationException was unhandled
@p4 : String truncation: max=4000, len=8414
I had not problem with SQL Compact 3.1 I didn't even changed DataSet I just upgraded my database 3.1 -> 3.5 and I get this error. This is serious bug....
There are other people who have the same problem

Changing the cmd.Parameters as follows works:

When I enter over 4000 chars in any ntext field in my SQL Server 2005 database (directly in the database and through the application) I get an error saying that the data could not be updated because string or binary data would be truncated.Has anyone ever seen this? I cannot figure out what is causing it, ntext should be able to hold a lot more data that this...
Is it not possible for expressions to work with variables that contain more than 4000 characters? I've heard of a limitation of expressions and 4000 characters, but I thought this meant that the expression itself cannot be more than 4000 characters -- not that the expression cannot work with values of more than 4000 characters.
For example, I have a two variables:
Test1 (type = String): Value = [Some really long string whose length is > 4000 characters]
A trigger existed on the job steps table which captured any changes before and after. The insert table was limited changes to 4000 characters.

At some point a few months ago we encountered an issue where we hit a size limit of ~4000 characters on the amount of text we could enter into a Transact-SQL step of an Agent job. Attempting to create a job like this with sp_add_job will produce the error
Msg 50000, Level 16, State 10, Procedure sp_add_jobstep_internal, Line 255 String or binary data would be truncated.
Adding the job step via SSMS yields
Alter failed for JobStep 'xxx'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo) Additional information: An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo) String or binary data would be truncated. The statement has been terminated. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 8152)
I've checked sp_add_jobstep_internal, sp_add_jobstep and the sysjobsteps table and all references to the command field are nvarchar(max). We can run the same job creation code without error on a SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition machine and two SQL Server 2012 SP2 Developer Edition boxes. All our 2012 servers were fresh installs, not upgrades.
Hi, I have a clr stored procedure that takes in 2 parameters, input xml and a query name. The stored procedure transforms the xml with a the xslt for the given query name (stored in a database). I am currently using and output parameter that is of type NVarChar(4000) to retrieve the xml in .net. This all works fine unless the xml that is being transformed is greater than 4000 characters which will happen. Are there any ways of returning a string/xml greater than 4000 characters (in the region of 60-70k characters).

I'm putting a process together to run a DBCC CHECKCONSTRAINTS process against copies of client databases.The author application doesn't set the constraints as trusted, and therefore we need to check the integrity of the data.
The problem is that some of the Check constraints have a definition that is longer than 4,000 characters.When this is the case, DBCC CHECK CONSTRAINTS fails.One option is that I write a cursor to select the constraints that have a definition less than 4,000 characters and then call the DBCC command for those particular constraints. However, I'd prefer a more elegant approach - ideally a way to run DBCC CHECKCONSTRAINTS against all constraints regardless of the length of the definition
I want the reason for the above statement where I user nvarchar(4000) to insert the japanese text it give the same error , why we cannot have maximum size ? if we can have maximum size than 8060 what is the setting
I'm using sys.dm_fts_parser dynamic management function to tokenize a string of characters >4000. The function doesn't accept a query_string parameter >4000 characters. Is there a way around this? I've tried to execute the SELECT defined in the function but that doesn't work. Â
I have no idea to write a store procedure or only query to pass a string parameter more than 4000 characters into execute() and return result for FETCH and Cursor.
I am having an interesting error. I have a bunch of data that I am updating to a field in my sql server 7.0 database. It updates the data, however only puts the first 64,999 characters into the field. The datatype is ntext. From what I understand, ntext datatype can hold much more than 65,000 characters. Am I right in this? The data I'm putting into the field is html tags/text. I've tried several different data sets. I'm updating the data using Coldfusion/SQL commands.
Here is my SQL syntax:
UPDATE htmltest SET html_offline = '#form.html#' WHERE htmlid = #form.htmlid#

I wish to enter some string data with period(.) in a column with char type. It doesn't accept period(.) What data type should I choose for this field ?
Hello, I have 2 table, "table1" is the source one and the other one "table2" is the destination. Columns in Table1 and in Table2 are nvarchar(max). Data loaded from table1 is performed by SSIS OLEDB data flow source, I have found out that opening "Data flow Path Editor" in the Metadata, columns are as: DT_WSTR with lenght 4000.
First question: Why SSIS limit the column to 4000.
Then I get some error for this issue, with the error: input column "col1" (xxxx) and reference column named (coln) have incompatible data type.
As written before both columns are string, the problem is that SSIS limit the lenght of the string to 4000.
I am running this query to an sql server 2000 database from my aspcode:"select * from MyTable whereMySqlServerRemoveStressFunction(MyNtextColumn) = '" &MyAdoRemoveStressFunction(MyString) & "'"The problem is that the replace function doesn't work with the ntextdatatype (so as to replace the stresses with an empty string). I hadto implement the MySqlServerRemoveStressFunction, i.e. a function thattakes a column name as a parameter and returns the text contained inthis column having replaced some letters of the text (the letters withstress). Unfortunately, I could not do that because user-definedfunctions cannot return a value of ntext.So I have the following idea:"select * from MyTable whereCheckIfTheyAreEqualIngoringTheStesses(MyNtextColum n, '" & MyString &"')"How can I implement the CheckIfTheyAreEqualIngoringTheStessesfunction? (I don't know how to combine these functions to do what Iwant: TEXTPTR, UPDATETEXT, WRITETEXT, READTEXT)
I have a column in SQL server which is of type ntext. Selecting the specific column to view it in report builder, an error message appears with the following description:
- Cannot run this report. The grouping expression 'nameofcolumn' returns the datatype binary. The Grouping Expression cannot return binary data.
Report Builder recognises this as if it was an image...
My organization have a web-based application and needs it to support multilingual so we will be adapting our app to use unicode. However, one of our problems is to convert existing data from text to ntext. I couldn't find anything that document this. What is the best way to do that? I would like to be able to migrate the data from an existing text column to another ntext column in the table.
I brief you about my system, I used List manager system to store the messages and distribute to all members. Right now,by design the Lyris system keep the message in the text field which mean it 's not support multilanguage directly because of unicode field. We needs to create new Db which has the data structure as same as Lyris but just one difference is keep the message in unicode format (ntext) which we need the sql script to automatically update the new record get from Lyris to new DB.
If I can't do that, what are the options? If it's possible, I would like to be able to do this in sql script.
The sql database has an ntext (16) field which contains "information" and is used as a free form turnover log. When I bring this data into an ASP page the "information" gets truncated.
I have tried getchunk, however all formatting on the field is lost. I have tried putting the field at the end of my query - no change. I have tried querying the data as a separate sqlrs connection - no change. I have tried using substring to break it down, the first substring works, however I get errors on the second (Expression result length exceeds the maximum. 8000 max, 12000 found).
I also tried to use substring in sql query anaylzer - and only get the first ~4180 characters.
Is there a way to split this field into multiple nvarchar fields in my temporary table in sql and then concatenate back together in asp report???
I have some text in an NText column that could be quite long.
for the web page that displays it, i want to show the first 200 characters and then have a "more..." link to bring up the full text.
i'd like to create a stored procedure that takes the left 200 characters and copies them to a ShortText column (NVarChar) for initial display and then id like to set a bit column to indicate if the length of the NText column is greater than 200.
Len and Left cant be used against NText so how can i work with the NText data ??

Have a table storing nText data tied into a Cold Fusion front end. The Cold Fusion returns the values fine, but when querying in Query analyzer the messages are being truncated. In Enterprize Manager I get a <Long Text> message.
I ran OBJECTPROPERTY and found that TableTextInRowLimit was set to 0, but even after i set it to 1 on our test system with a value of 2000, it still truncated.
Also, the field is set to ntext with a length of 16. I havent worked much with nText, anyone with advise would be much appricated.
I am running a Access97 front end with a SQL Server 7 backend. On records with an ntext datatype, you are only allowed to update records if the ntext field is null. The tables are linked from access. You get a "cannot update linked table" and "ODBC error #306." Any suggestions??
I am having a problem writing a large amount of ntext data to a field within an ADO recordset. I am using the append chunk method but it does not seem to work. The SQL 7 field will hold the data its only about 60K.
Hello, When I am using DISTINCT in the SELECT clause for a table having a column of datatype "ntext" in SQL 2000 as well SQL 2005, it fails giving the error as "ntext data type cannot be selected as DISTINCT". This is coz "The text, ntext, or image data type cannot be selected as DISTINCT."
But I am able to insert into a temporary table having a column whose datatype is nvarchar) using this SELECT clause in SQL 2000. Please advice me how this happens. If I am not worng, implicit conversion has happened. But this insert fails raising the same error in SQL 2005. Please help me to find the difference thanks in advance!
