It is becuase you are using version prior to 2005. Varchar(max) is supported from version 2005

Hello,

I need to declare a variable with Varchar of size 12000 in stored procedure. But in SQL Server it gives me 8000 only as the extreme limit. So how can I increase that upto 12000.

Hi !
Can you help me please ?

I had to change our database (not empty) collation from French_CI_AS to SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_CI_AI.

: Database\Properties\Options\Collation. Change it !

After doing this, i noticed that only data on fields with “varchar(max) ” type were truncated.
Like, even if i put 100 characters by the interface, no problem but only 12 characters are really saved in the database. Troncation happens only on these types of fiels et always the same number of characters 12

Can anyone knows why and how avoid this ?

Thank you very much and sorry, i do not speak english very well :(
