Question

I’m getting this error message:
Msg 16927, Level 16, State 1, Procedure GetWfGenProcessParameters, Line 21
Cannot fetch into text, ntext, and image variables.

I realy need to make this cursor work with text data.
Is there any way to get over this error?

If you are using SQL Server 2005, you can use NVARCHAR(MAX):

CREATE TABLE text_test (test NTEXT NOT NULL)

INSERT
INTO    text_test
VALUES  ('test')

DECLARE @t NVARCHAR(MAX);

DECLARE txt_cur CURSOR FOR
        SELECT test
        FROM   text_test

OPEN    txt_cur

FETCH   NEXT
FROM    txt_cur
INTO    @t

CLOSE txt_cur

DEALLOCATE txt_cur
GO

DROP TABLE text_test
GO
