Using Large Value Types
In previous versions of SQL Server, working with large value data types required special handling. Large value data types are those that exceed the maximum row size of 8 KB. SQL Server 2005 introduces a max specifier for varchar , nvarchar and varbinary data types to allow storage of values as large as 2^31 -1 bytes. Table columns and Transact-SQL variables may specify varchar(max) , nvarchar(max) or varbinary(max) data types. Previously, only SQL Server data types such as text , ntext and image could attain such lengths.Compiled » Why is SQL Server So Slow?
