So I ran into the following error while trying to run a query.
"Maximum output rowsize (32767) exceeded"
The problem with this, was that I was using a SQL SERVER link server, called ETS, to an Informix database. The problem was that I could not limit the size on the "Notes", so basically I ended up using an exec and open query just to accomplish this task.
declare @Query varchar(max)
set @Query = N'select
wrkhdr.region_no,
notif.atten,
notif.dba,
notif.owner,
notif.addr1,
notif.addr2,
notif.city,
notif.state,
notif.country,
notif.postal_code,
notif.notif_id,
notif.notif_date,
notif.start_date,
notif.end_date,
wrkhdr.create_user,
wrkhdr.rid,
wrkhdr.license_no,
notif.license_status,
rtrim(CAST(notes.note as nvarchar(250)))
FROM
notification notif
join workq_hdr wrkhdr ON wrkhdr.workq_id = notif.workq_id
left join document_header ON document_header.filing_id = wrkhdr.filing_id
left join document_header_notes ON document_header.recno = document_header_notes.document_header_notes_id
left join notes ON document_header_notes.notes = notes.note_id
where notif.notif_id = ' + convert(varchar(30),@Parameter1)
set @Query = N'select * from openquery(ets2, ''' + REPLACE(@Query, '''', '''''') + ''')'
exec (@Query)
