max size of sql statement parameter

  • October 22, 2008 at 5:25 am

    SQL server 2000, stored procedure with EXEC sp_executesql @SQL.

    @SQL is declared as nvarchar(4000) which seems to be the maximum size.

    However, sometimes my parameter including the statement exceeds this size.

    How can I increase this size?

    Or can I split my statement and concatenate it in the EXEC sp_executesql @SQL?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Did you ever tried Varchar(MAX).

    varchar(max) is only available as from SQL2005 !

    However, you can concatenate variables to execute with exec.

    Here's a little example:.

    EXEC (@SQLQry + @SQLQryp1 + @SQLQryp2 + @SQLQryp3 + @SQLQrypx)

    Concatenating the string works.

    Thanks a lot.
