SQL Text and Image functions operate on text and image data types. These functions are helpful when working with legacy systems or unstructured binary/text data in SQL Server databases.
| Sr.No. | Function | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | TEXTPTR() |
Returns the pointer value of the text or images. |
| 2 | TEXTVALID() |
Returns an integer value (1 for valid, 0 for non-valid). |
Note: These functions are specific to legacy data types like TEXT and IMAGE, which are deprecated in favor of VARCHAR(MAX) and VARBINARY(MAX) in modern SQL Server versions.
