Right now i have resolved the buffer size problem but i am getting an error that says

Error at Destination for Row number 654(which is the last row).
Cannot sort a row of size 11824, which is greater thatn the allowable maximum of 8094.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I could resolve this problem by changing the data type of my row to ntext.
