Data too long for column 'Description' at row 1

Hello,

When trying to submit a new blog post I am receiving the follwing error page.  It only happens on this one post, all the others seem fine.

We're sorry but a server error has occurred while trying to process your request. 

When checking the log I found this entry.

Data too long for column 'Description' at row 1

What is the Description column for, is it the Meta Description and do I just need to shorten it?

Thanks.

Re: Data too long for column 'Description' at row 1

Hi David,

Description is the main field, it stores the body of the blog post. The field is ntext data type so I think it should hold up to 1GB of data unless your server is configured with a limit somehow or maybe its lower in sql 2000 vs 2005/2008.

Meta Keywords and meta description are limited to 255 chars.

Is the content of this post extremely long?

I've not encountered this error.

Hope it helps,

Joe
