Hello,

I'm attempting to export data from a query I'm running. The query appears to be fine, but upon selecting 'Results to file' and then opening, the field needed seems to truncate around 240 characters and I'm not sure why. The field is very large, set to varchar(max) as it is a large data dump. Is there a way to capture all the text for the field without the truncation?

check what value you've given for maximum characters to be displayed in Tools->Options-> Query Results

Thanks, but that doesn't seem to be the issue. I don't believe its my query, but I've included it in case if you have any idea. Thanks for your help.

SET NOCOUNT ON
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITTED


SELECT


P.ProjectName,
P.ProjectCity,
P.ProjectState,
[ArchName] = (SELECT CompanyName + ', '
FROM dbo.Company AS C
WHERE C.ProjectID = P.ProjectID
FOR XML PATH('')),
DT.DocumentText
FROM dbo.DocumentText AS DT
JOIN dbo.DocumentProperty AS DP
ON DT.DocumentPropertyID = DP.DocumentPropertyID
JOIN dbo.Project AS P
ON DP.ProjectID = P.ProjectID
