Using CakePHP 1.3.11 and SQL Server 2005 and the included MSSQL database driver.

I need to retrieve a varchar(8000) field, however the typical find() queries truncate this field to 256 characters; the actual array value array[‘comment’] is truncated, so the data beyond character 256 isn’t accessed by my application at all.

I tried changing the field to a text datatype and with that change the query returns the full value of the column. Is there a way for cake to read the full value of the column or does it always truncate varchars to 256 characters?
