DataType Issue

Hi

Using SQLserver 2000 I have to enter a huge data (nearly 8000 charcters) into a field, which data type is suitable for that and what is the method to store data.

You might need to use a VARCHAR(8000) or a text datatype; however, there is not enough information.

Is your data divisible into different definite pieces? Do you need to support unicode? Is your data numeric? binary? Is your data XML Is there additional data that needs to be stored with the 8000 characters?
