Hi

SQL Server does not allow more than 1024 columns for a Table.

A system with 1024 columns...especially accounting. I hope you got it for
free and are looking at replacing it soon. No DBA who knows what he is doing
would design such a table. It is totally un-manageable, and with a
limitation of 8k per row, if every column were populated, each column could
be only 8 bytes.

There is no solution for you as you have hit a system limitation.
