I have an already large table that my clients are asking for me to extend the length of the notes field. The notes field is already an NVARCHAR(1000) and I am being asked to expand it to 3000. The long term solution is to move notes out of the table and create a notes table that uses an NVARCHAR(max) field that is only joined in when necessary. My question is about the short term. Knowing that this field will be moved out in the future what problems could I have if I just increase the field to an NVARCHAR(3000) for now?

  1. text and ntext are deprecated in favor of varchar(max) and nvarchar(max). So nvarchar(3000) should be fine.
