No More Mysterious Truncation

·

If you read the Microsoft White Paper on SQL Server 2019, there’s a gem buried on page 17. It mentions a trace flag, which some of you might appreciate.

Here’s a little repro:

 2018-09-25 15_00_20-SQLQuery1.sql - Plato_SQL2019.Sandbox (PLATO_Steve (65))_ - Microsoft SQL Server

As you can see, the plee I made has actually been heard. I don’t know if they listened to me, or if the collective complaints over the year grew to the point that this got fixed.

In any case, thank you, Microsoft. This is a very nice enhancement.
