I need to execute a SELECT… from Sybase’s command line tool, FSQL, which includes a text column as well (which contains some XML data).

Problem is, the data is chopped at 4096 characters.

How can I raise this limit as my data is larger than that. FSQL -h gives me no help – google neither.

    Original solution: to use isql -o instead of fsql which does not seem to have this limitation.

    Updated solution:

    Unfortunately both isql and fsql are limited by the default @@textsize parameter set in Sybase (on our server it is set to 32768).

    To override the default issue the following command

    SET TEXTSIZE 100000
    

    before the query.
