John writes "I am having a little trouble using READTEXT. I have a table that contains both a text blob and several other fields. Here is the code that I am currently using to return the blob:
DECLARE @@ptrval varbinary(16)
SELECT @@ptrval = TEXTPTR(copy)
FROM headlines
WHERE headlines_id = 1
READTEXT headlines.copy @@ptrval 0 87
select url, catchphrase from headlines

I would also like to be able to return the other columns in the table at the same time. They are two Varchars.

It is a little confusing, especially since the documentation doesn't go into any detail.

Thanks in advance for the help.
