hello, i am doing a project in jsp. As i'm in need to store lumpsum of data in the database(SQL-Server), i used text data type for that. I heard that using text datatype, we can store as much as 2 GB of information. But when i'm entering the data, it's storing just 2 KB. At the end it's showing a pointer, which should point to the next 2KB of information. But, when i 'm retreiving the data, using the getParameter method of request object(in jsp), the only first 2kb of information and the symbol %0 (which might be the pointer), is shown. i couldn't get the complete data i'm storing. please tell me, how can i get the whole data. with warm regards, gandhi n s
