Question

I am using SQL server 2005. In one of the tables, I have a column "xmldefinition" which is of ntext type. Now the data in this column is very huge and contains whole xml text.

eg:- <root><something1>....</something1></root>

I want to get the whole string from management studio and copy it outside in a xml file just to go through the whole xml manually. But when I query for this column and I copy and paste the data into another file, the contents are broken in middle and it is not complete.

eg:- <root><something1>........<somechar

I believe this will copy only some 8196 characters from xml data in column. So my question is, how do I get the complete data for this column manually. I can however write a C# code to read that column, but I want to do this manually in management studio. Any idea please.

No correct solution
