Why is SQL Server only storing 4000 characters in an NVARCHAR(MAX) column?
Hi Guys, I'm trying to insert a string with 10,000 plain characters (just repeated 'A's) into a column defined as NVARCHAR(MAX) in SQL Server. But LEN(Content) always returns 4000, not 10,000. I’ve verified that the column is NVARCHAR(MAX) and used the N prefix for Unicode. Still, the data seems to be truncated. What could be causing this? Is there something I'm missing in how SQL Server handles large strings? Tried this: CREATE TABLE LargeTextExample ( Id INT PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY(1,1), Content NVARCHAR(MAX) ); DECLARE @LongText NVARCHAR(MAX); SET @LongText = REPLICATE(N'A', 10000); INSERT INTO LargeTextExample (Content) VALUES (@LongText); SELECT LEN(Content) AS CharacterCount FROM LargeTextExample; Thanks, Tushar

Access 2019 #Deleted Table status (Field NVARCHAR)
Hi, There has been an issue regarding Access 2019 displaying #Deleted status on certain table, for only certain windows user profile. Based on my analysis: 1. This happen to only certain user profile. If I login into the windows using another profile and open the table, the data will be normally displayed. 2. This table are linked table with SQL server 2016, so I have check and find that the table have NVARCHAR field. I try to change the field type to VARCHAR, refresh the table link, then the data can be viewed again. Current Solution: 1. Delete the user profile and login again. Solve the problems but not sure if it will happen again in the future. 2. Installing Access Runtime. Solve the problems but at the same time i can't debug the program if there something wrong with it. Does anyone have any idea what happen because i am really lost right now.

Lesson Learned #45: CPU at 100% using nvarchar parameter data type in the filter against varchar column data type.
