Thread: String Length Limit

String Length Limit Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Is there a limit to the length of a string in VB? I'm trying to open a recordset with a very long sql string and I suspect that it is getting truncated. Does anyone know the max length of a string in VB?

Thanks,
Ian

Hi Ian,

It's unlikely that you are hitting the limit as its around 2 billion characters. More details can be found at:

Are you building your SQL string dynamically? If so you may want to attach a debugger and make sure you are getting what you expect.

HTH.

Hi ya Ian!

Are you running this through the SLX provider or straight in? Have you run a trace to verify truncation?

Double check the database field length. Maybe the input is being truncated to accommodate the table field length.
