If you are using SQL Server 2000, to avoid truncation you can use TEXT or nText fields instead. These are BLOBS and are not contained by the max row length. The combined max row size for all other fields is 8060, anything above this will be truncated. Since SQL Server 2005 these were depreciated in favour of the new VarChar(max) data type.
