Hai,

(i) I'm using the SP_XML_PREPAREDOCUMENT to get values which I sent as xml string. But some of the text are missing by using this.
The error I'm getting is "XML parsing error: A name contained an invalid character.".

(ii) What is the maximum size to convert the xmlstring using the SP_XML_PREPAREDOCUMENT. I'm using sql server 2000.

Thanks in advance,

Riswan

That exact error was a surprise to me also ... and I'm usg sql2k8exp. But I fixed the return by bumping up a [nvarchar](MAX) which was the type of the variable I was usg to hold the SELECT return. So convert or cast, maybe?

Sometimes this error came when we have some special character in XML sting like "_x0020_" or handle null values or specify a valid encoding for Cyrillic alphabets before use it by SP_XML_PREPAREDOCUMENT

Do you have any memory related info. while accessing the xml string. Because I'm sending bulk data. I split the data and read it works fine, but failed to read the accumulated data.

Your updation is very valid.

Thanks in advance,

No I don't have any memory related info, The most common cause is encoding errors and escaping problematic characters ("<" becomes "<", "&" becomes "&", etc.)
