The text, ntext, and image data types are invalid for local variables."

What do you mean by large amount of data?
Do you want to use variable that can hold more than 8000 character?
Search for 8000 in this topic

If you have SQL 2005, use varchar(max) or nvarchar(max).

In SQL 2000, you can store the TEXT on NTEXT in a temp table, instead of a local variable.
