Hi
text, ntext and image data types are not valid as local variables in SQL
Server 7.0, 2000 and 2005.
They are now deprecated in SQL Server 2005, with their replacements being
varchar(max), nvarchar(max) and varbinary(max). Those are valid as local
variables.
text and it's friends were really complicated types and their history is
long and troublesome. It was not practical to allow them as data types for
variables.
