If I load up a local variable defined as varchar(MAX) with a 10,000-character continuous string, i.e. '123456789.....100000' the variable retains the full value as expected. However, if I break that string up into '123456789....5000' + '5001...10000', the variable is truncated at 8000 characters.
Is there a way around this?
Thanks.
This has to do with type conversion. SQL Server does not do an auto coversion from a not max varchar to a max varchar. The key is to cast your values to a varchar(max) type. For example:
select len (replicate ('*',10000))
--
8000
select len (replicate (cast('*' as varchar(max)),10000))
--
10000
