I have run this in all versions of SQL Server from 2000 to 2008 R2 and get the same answer - 10 '*'s.select STR('8E10') -- returns '**********'
select len(STR('8E10')) -- returns 10
Thanks Mark for pointing. Interestingly no one got it. I just checked and agree, it was a typo in description. It's 10 * and not 8 *. 🙂
