I have received the email from Grace on Tuesday, February 01, 2005 4:07 PM. Wow! She was sharing some interesting things related to SQL.
Thank you so much, Grace!

Hi Micheal,

Do you know that ntext data type can’t do concatenation. To overcome this problem, we can use UPDATETEXT.
The following are the example of using UPDATETEXT.

DECLARE @ptrval binary(16)
Declare @strComments nvarchar(4000)

SET @strComments = 'comments'

SELECT @ptrval = TEXTPTR(rd.Comment)
FROM vyRequisitionDetails rd
WHERE rd.RequisitionID = 'REQPhyuHT02012005-Delhi'

UPDATETEXT vyRequisitionDetails.Comment @ptrval NULL 0 @strComments
