Can anybody help me I have a document which appears to be too large for the ntext datatype. When i retrieve the document (using coldfusion or the query analyzer in SQL Server) it's truncated.

Is there anything I can do?

I doubt it is too large for the ntext type (it has a max length of 1,073,741,823 characters).

The problem is probably just that Query Analyzer only displays a certain number of characters for long char data. You can set this by going to Tools -> Options (Results tab) and setting the "Maximum characters per column".

Hi James

The maximum number of characters that you can set in query analyzer is 8192, butit's still truncating my document.
