How do I update text field varchar length at synapse SQL database, from 120 to 500?
Or can I not set a length limit at all?
Hi @Anonymous ,
If you are using PolyBase external tables to load your Synapse SQL tables, the defined length of the table row cannot exceed 1 MB. When a row with variable-length data exceeds 1 MB, you can load the row with BCP, but not with PolyBase.
More details : Table data types in Synapse SQL - Azure Synapse Analytics | Microsoft Docs
If I have misunderstood you meaning, please provide more details.
