[dba-SQLServer] Text column truncating

Are you sure its not the viewer app that's truncating?
If your testing in QA you can set the column width in options to show
more then 8000 chars.
Your code looks ok to me.

Subject: [dba-SQLServer] Text column truncating

All,

I am trying to get a text data field to update in SQL 2000 using a
stored procedure.

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_SQL_addUpdate]

@SQLUpdate_By		nvarchar(25),
@SQLUpdate_DB		nvarchar(15),
@SQLUpdate_Object		nvarchar(50),
@SQLUpdate_Description	varchar(8000),
@SQLUpdate_Script	text,
@SQLUpdate_ID		int	OUT

AS

     DECLARE @ptrval binary(16)

	INSERT INTO dbo.tblSQLUpdates(
		SQLUpdate_By,
		SQLUpdate_DB,
		SQLUpdate_Object,
		SQLUpdate_Description
	)
	VALUES (
		@SQLUpdate_By,
		@SQLUpdate_DB,
		@SQLUpdate_Object,
		@SQLUpdate_Description
	)

	SELECT @SQLUpdate_ID = @@Identity
	
     SELECT @ptrval = TEXTPTR(SQLUpdate_Script)
         FROM dbo.tblSQLUpdates
         WHERE SQLUpdate_ID = @SQLUpdate_ID
     WRITETEXT tblSQLUpdates.SQLUpdate_ID @ptrval @SQLUpdate_Script


When writing the text back, I am getting a truncated value.
My guess is that it is around 8000 characters.  Anyone have any insight
into it?

Thanks,

Robert
