Came across this error today. Wondering if anyone can tell me what it means:
Cannot sort a row of size 9522, which is greater than the allowable maximum of 8094.
Is that 8094 bytes? Characters? Fields? Is this a problem joining multiple tables that are exceeding some limit?
In SQL 2000, the row limit is 8K bytes, which is the same size as a page in memory.
[Edit]
In 2005, the page size is the same (8K), but the database uses pointers on the row in the page to point to other pages that contain larger fields. This allows 2005 to overcome the 8K row size limitation.
