You are right as it is storing all data into table and checked with LEN command but in SSMS it is now showing. There is limit to 65535.

can you show what it is you are trying to do?

With MyCTE (TheTime)

AS

(

SELECT convert(datetime2,'1900-01-01 0:12:14.1241234') UNION ALL

SELECT '1900-01-01 0:08:16.361' UNION ALL

Thank you Lowell.

i knew a bit in how to set the values, but my question was, can i go and change these DEFAULT settings just like that...
