If I convert an column in a table that is curently a type of 'varchar(8000)' to a type of 'text(16)', does this truncate the data?
I'm using Enterprise manager, when I put the conversion in, I note I can not change the size, so I presume that text is always size '16' and that this references the rest of the text however MS SQL Server handles this data type. When I do this, I get the 'data could be truncated' message. Is this just a proforma message, or am I possible not setting this up properly so that there is enough space for the current data in the field.
