    Can you cast it as text?

    Even if you concatenate and convert to text using something like...

    [font="Courier New"]SELECT CAST('1'+'2'+'3' AS TEXT)[/font]

    ...you still won't be able to see more than 8192 characters in a single column, view or not... please see the following article for an outstanding bit of information on the TEXT datatype.

    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.
