Nvarchar only allows 255 characters. NText is the field you want if its paragraphs you are storing.

Error Executing Database Query. [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]String or binary data would be truncated. This error would seem to me to be created by a MSSQL datatype which is not large enough to hold the inserted data. I was using nvarchar and have since switched to ntext which seems to have fixed the problem. I'm a bit confused as to why nvarchar was causing the error as the data being submitted was well under the nvarchar limit, 2 or 3 paragraphs. I am trimming all of the data I am inserting. Any thoughts?
