Text datatype in SQL Server can store ASCII characters longer than 8 KB.

Don't get confused on the value it shows in the length field.

Max Length is 16 because the Text data type doesn't actually store the data, it's storing a (16-byte) pointer.

If you need Unicode support us the nText data type instead.

I have a text field in an existing database and the client wishes to store a fair bit of info in the field and as a result the db isn't storing everything they enter. I've tried to change the field type but am dissallowed. What can I do to increase the storage for this field?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
