 Also don't use text use varchar(max) as SQL Server is depreciating text.

Hi Steve,

Depending on your database,  the TEXT datatype column can handle LARGE amounts 
of data.

You might want to check how much data your datasource can handle.. check out

Depends on which database you are referring to - and which version.

2.1 billion bytes is possible - I think for MS SQL Server? Oracle's

2,147,483,647 characters in MSSQL 2009.

Your insert/update queries will error if the length exceeds that specified in 
cfadmin... you could try increasing if to MSSQL maximum.. I have not tried that!

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187993.aspx

See the note regarding deprecation of the text datatype.

Important
ntext, text, and image data types will be removed in a future version of 
MicrosoftSQL Server. Avoid using these data types in new development work, and 
plan to modify applications that currently use them. Use nvarchar(max), 
varchar(max), and varbinary(max) instead.

You might already bea aware of this and I'm not sure about MSSQL but in the 
setup for mySQL datasources in CF admin you have to explicity enable CLOB 
and/or BLOB support before it will actually return the full content of a TEXT 
field.
