If you had done even a rudimentary search, you might have found threads like this[^] one.

And had you done even a rudimentary perusal of the OP's question, you might have found he was asking about DataTable objects, not about SQL Server. D'oh.

Solution 1

You could use a variation of the following.. (my syntax may not be entirely correct as I didn't have time to check it out in management studio)

SQL

SELECT  MAX(len(tid)), 
        MAX(len(name)), 
        MAX(len(city)), 
        MAX(len(country))
  FROM  objdt
