Question : Replacing a "&" in database. Getting errror

Hi All,

I'm getting the error "String or binary data would be truncated.The statement has been terminated." when I'm running a statement to replace the ampersand "&" in the database. My t-sql statement is below.

update mytable set myColumn=replace(myColumn,'&',' And ') where myColumnlike '%&%'


I'm running the same update for the "#" sign and it works fine. Is there something with the ampersand I should know about

Thanks,

You need to increase the length of the column. You are increasing the length by 4 characters.
