Hi,
I've tried both Sql sever 2000 QA and Sql server 2005 Management
Studio. For QA i set the Results Max chars to 8192 and in Management
studio i set the max chars per column for Text Retults to 8192 and for
Grid to Non XML 65535, but it's still not returning the full, and each
max length is always 200.
