Hi there

Does anybody know of a good workaround for the 8000 char limit on SP
parameters?

Background... I'm retrieving huge amounts of data from a local news service.
The data is returned as XML and is processed by a stored proc, using
sp_xml_preparedocument. The problem is that the data length often exceeds
8000 characters. The only thing I can think of is processing the XML
elements individually and calling the stored proc for each, but that takes
forever. Any ideas?

Regards,
Quintis
