truncated query results

sproc results are truncated

I ran into this issue recently while running some utility sprocs that generate C# code for me.  I was thinking I’d have to refactor my sprocs, but then I found this helpful setting under Query Options.

This is the Query Options dialog

Update Max.num characters per column in Query Options > Results > Text

This solved my problem and will hopefully solve yours as well.

  1. Right click the query editor
  2. Left click “Query Options…”
  3. Expand Results in the tree on the left ( in popup dialog )
  4. Click on Text under Results
  5. Set “Maximum number of characters displayed in each column” to a number large enough to see all your results.

Quick and easy, hope I remember this setting.
