Importing a Table from MSSQL Fails Due to NVARCHAR(MAX)

Problem: Import Fails with NVARCHAR(MAX) Columns in MSSQL

When using MS SQL Server as your data source, importing data from a column defined as NVARCHAR(MAX) can cause the import process to fail.

Solution: Cast NVARCHAR(MAX) to a Fixed Length

To resolve this issue, you can cast the NVARCHAR(MAX) field to a fixed length before importing the data. Use the following SQL query:

SELECT 
    CAST([YourField] AS NVARCHAR(4000)) AS YourField, 
    OtherColumns
FROM 
    [YourTable]

This workaround reduces the size of the NVARCHAR(MAX) field to a manageable length, allowing the import process to complete successfully.
