    All,

    what is the reason for dropping TEXT & IMAGE data type from the latest version?

    Memory issue ?

    Performance issue?

    Maintenance issue ?

    These data types have been deprecated since the introduction of SQL Server 2005 and the VARCHAR(MAX), NVARCHAR(MAX), and VARBINARY(MAX) data types.
