Inserting a String into a Char(500)

Question:
I am trying to insert a string into a char(500) but get this error message:

A quoted string exceeds 256 bytes.

I’m using this for a Web site built in ASP and can’t use the LOAD command to create a temp text file. Is there another solution?

Answer:
Try building your long string from multiple quoted strings, each under 256 bytes.
