It doesn't matter if you have a max of 8000 characters for a variable, or not. You cannot print more than 8000 characters in SQL Server in a single unbroken line.

What is it that you're trying to do? I mean, why does the requirement of printing 30,000 characters as an unbroken string exist for you?

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.
