sql server data warehouse:
When populating a table with a column of TEXT datatype, an error
message was shown, indicating that the data is too large for the
specified buffer size. How we I change the buffer size from the SQL
Server Enterprise Manager?

TIA,

Jeffery,
Could you provide more information on exactly what error message and error
message number you received?
How were you populating the column with the TEXT datatype? Via an INSERT
statement, BULK INSERT or BCP?
The more precise information we have, the better and faster we can answer
your question!
Thanks,
John

I tried to populate a table with an Excel data file. To import the data
file I opened the DTS Import/Export wizard from Enterprise Manager. The
datatype is TEXT. Thanks.

John,

I tried to populate a table of a SQL Server database with an Excel
data file. To import the data file I opened the DTS Import/Export
wizard from Enterprise Manager. The datatype of the column is TEXT
and the error message indicated that the text data is too large for
the specified buffer size.

How do I cahnge the buffer size of the database or the column?

Thanks,
Jeffrey
