Tracy writes "I am trying to extract data from a text field where the data stored in the field is over 16K. I have already looked at using READTEXT but I am limited to 16K with Query Analyzer. I can get the data by creating a .Net application and pulling it out. Is there a way to do this with a built-in SQL tool using only T-SQL?

I am using SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition (.818) on a Windows 2000 Server."

Once you have "pulled it out" what do you want to do with it? Just view it on screen?

Hmmm... Well, 16K is about what... 8 pages of printed text? I don't think QA will be of much help here. If you really want to view it, then your .NET app is probably as good of a solution as any.
