    Hi,

    I am having the same problem. My query string is greater than 8000 characters. I am using varchar(max).

    Can someone assist urgently with a result, please.

    It's easy. Write a stored procedure and use BCP to call the stored procedure.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
