Varchar

[samcam]

I have a text field whose length is more than 8000. I need to do some manipulation with this field but since varchar can only hold upto 8000 how do I parse this text field into chunks of varchar 8000

Please let me know if my question is not clear.

Thanks
sam

It would probably be easier to make this field "text" instead of "varchar". A "text" field is variable length can hold over 2 trillion charcters.
