I have an sql statement which I'm running through SQL 2000 that fails when the number of characters in the SQL statement nears 8400 or so (failure on exact number of characters is not consistent) characters . The syntax is correct. Any suggestions? While the statement is below the documented 64K sql statement limit it still fails.

Thanks in advance.

I respectfully disagree

That's got to be 1 hell of a statement though...

Are you using column names fully qualified with the table name btw?

Just curious...

are you using dynamice sql and building a varhcar() string? the max limit of a varchar() is 8000 chars, so it may be getting truncated.

Either way, never forget: TABLE ALIASES will go a LONG way towards making your SQL shorter, easier to write and most importantly easier to read.
