| I have Sybase date type long varchar data type converted into SQL Server 2000 as text with length 16. These Sybase data are of size 1 and scale 0. I suspect the SQL Server data type is right because I saw some message from sqlserver saying String or binary data would be truncated. Any body has any experience? Thanks! |

| A varchar in sql server has a max length of 8000 chars.For strings longer than this you need to use the text datatype. The pointer to the data is 16 bytes which is the size you see.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
