>> Select does not return whole data as entered via insert
Yes it does. The client may truncate it though.

>> You cant use Update to update Text Data type field
Not true depending on the text

create table #b (t text)
insert #b select 'asdf'
update #b set t = 'qwer'
select * from #b


But see updatetext in bol

DTS can be used in a similar way.
