I’m using long ANSI string values, up to around 512 characters. The column is defined as TEXT.

For some reason SQL Server only accepts the first 256 characters, and then gives me an error about missing quotes – presumably because the string was cut off before the end.

An example:

UPDATE Authentication SET passwordVerifier = '512466f4e1a4b9a411fc729d9e00cf168c

WHERE accountID = '36'

Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

    SQL Server itself has no problems accepting more than 256 characters as a parameter. I suspect this is due to your data access layer.

    What type of connection are you using to SQL Server?
