I want to create a varbinary(16384) but cant because the size must be a max of 8000 or MAX.
I don’t want to use MAX because I want an error thrown if the field size inserted is greater than 16384.
Is there anyway to do this?
Use MAX. Constrain the field and handle the error in the data layer / application.
It sounds like you are trying to push data to a table, and are depending upon the SQL Server to throw back an error. IMO, this is too far ‘down stream’ to handle this type of thing.
