definition |
nvarchar(max) |
SQL text that defines this computed-column. SQL Server 2005 differs from SQL Server 2000 in the way it decodes and stores SQL expressions in the catalog metadata. The semantics of the decoded expression are equivalent to the original text; however, there are no syntactic guarantees. For example, white spaces are removed from the decoded expression. For more information, see Behavior Changes to Database Engine Features in SQL Server 2005. |
