XML Output is Truncated in SQL

Question

I need to return my result set in XML and this works fine, but if the number of records are increased, my xml output is truncated here is my query

Answer 1

The XML output you get in Query output window is not really intended for saving valid XML documents. You can get valid XML out of SQL Server when you capture it as a stream using ADO or SQLXML managed classes in .NET

However you can limit the query output sizes by using In SQL Server Management Studio go to Tools >> Options >> Query Results >> SQL Server >> Results to Text >> Maximum number of characters displayed in each column
