Hi,
I am trying to return [string/SqlString] from a CLR function, but it was truncated at 8000 characters.
How can I solve this problem and return varchar(MAX)?
Thanks
? The Visual Studio deployment tool maps SqlString to VARCHAR(8000). Use SqlChars instead -- it gets mapped to VARCHAR(MAX). -- Adam MachanicPro SQL Server 2005, available nowhttp://www..apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=457-- <Bill YU@.discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:2a21db0a-f54b-42e2-88b9-fb4cab26d356@.discussions.microsoft.com...

Thanks|||Thanks Adam, it works.|||Came here to ask a similar question and saw your response to this question and it fixed my problem also. When deploying my CLR SP, studio was mapping the SP'S string parameters to varchar(4000) and my xml data was being truncated. Changed the data type of the sp parameter to SqlChars and everything worked fine after that, thanks!|||? Visual Studio deployment unfortunately has a lot of quirks. In case you're interested, I discuss another one in the following blog post: http://www.amazon.com/gp/plog/post.html/ref=cm_blog_pl/104-6385614-0075127?%5Fencoding=UTF8&pt=personalBlog&aid=PlogMyCustomersAgent&ot=customer&pd=1147803274.225&pid=PMCAALIINL2LPJELat1147801908&iid=AALIINL2LPJEL -- Adam MachanicPro SQL Server 2005, available nowhttp://www..apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=457-- <Bo416@.discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:2343e9db-ce1c-4f2a-9b47-2d471a0ddb44@.discussions.microsoft.com...Came here to ask a similar question and saw your response to this question and it fixed my problem also.
