I need to create a function in SQL Server that returns a string. In some cases, this string is longer than 8,000 characters, which is the maximum value for a varchar data type. text, and ntext data types are not supported when writing functions in SQL Server 2008.
So any idea of an alternative that I could implement ?
Thank You
(The code used for creating the function is very long, so I didn’t included it)
You should be able to use a
VARCHAR(MAX)as the return type of the function.
