I don't know about your Easysoft Driver but the Microsoft SQL Server ODBC
driver sets the textsize value at 2GB. If the Easysoft Driver doesn't set
the textsize, it will default to 4096.

You ought to be able to issue an explicit 'SET TEXTSIZE 2147483647' in your
application to prevent truncation.

Hope this helps.
