Renato writes "Is it possible to update a text field with more information, like we can do with varchar fields in MSSQL Server 7 and/or MSSQL Server 2000.
For example:

If I have a table called "ABC" that have two fields "FL01" type "Varchar(12)" and another one "FL02" type "Text".

To update the field "FL01" I can use:

update ABC set FL01 = FL01 + 'test'

but the same doesn't work for the other field:

update ABC set FL02 = FL02 + 'test'

Is there another way for doing that update ?

Thanks in advance,

Renato"

Yes, there is a specific T-SQL command called (surprisingly) UPDATETEXT. The syntax and usage is different than a normal SQL statement, Books Online has examples of how it works. Be sure to look at READTEXT and UPDATETEXT as well.
