| Is it possible to go from a text datatype to a varchar(8000) datatype with no data loss (provided ofcourse, that the original text datatype doesn't have over 8000 characters)? Thanks in advance. |

| Have you tried creating a table that has a varchar(8000) datatype field and writing a insert into select from statement and checking the data? |
