Hi,

Is it possible to store 9 or 10 lines text as a field in sql server..
For that any special field type is available?...
And for retrieve that field any condition is there?

Any Ideas?

Thanks By

You can hold it in a varchar. The lines will be separated by a crlf (char(13),char(10)) probably.

The question is probably more about what you want to do with the data rather than how it can be stored.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.
