Question

I need to return my result set in XML and this works fine, but if the number of records are increased, my xml output is truncated here is my query

select t.id,t.name,t.address from test FOR XML AUTO, ROOT('Response'), ELEMENTS

However I have set some option to increase the output result set like..

Tools --> Options --> Query Results --> SQL Server --> Results to Text --> Maximum              
number of characters displayed in each column
Tools --> Options --> Results --> Maximum characters per column

but still I am unable to get my desired result.

please suggest my solution

EDIT: However when I click on the XML, it open in another query window and all xml shown here, but it not return all xml instead of truncated xml.

Thanks….

I’ve had the same problem with management studio and xml result sets. I’ve solved this by getting the output programatically with c#, with SqlDataReader.
