I have a union view that when I try and access via a linked server connection returns the following message<br />
<br />
Msg 7347, Level 16, State 1, Line 1<br />
OLE DB provider 'SQLNCLI' for linked server 'CMPprd' returned data that does not match expected data length for column '[gp9prd].[company].[dbo].<wbr />[sop10100_<wbr />sop30200_u<wbr />nion].ADDR<wbr />ESS1'. The (maximum) expected data length is 31, while the returned data length is 61.<br />
<br />
The interesting thing is that when I look at the union view the column size for the Address1 field says 31 but both Address1 fields in the two tables being unioned have a size of 61.<br />
<br />
The union itself has no defined restriction on the field sizes.<br />
<br />
I have no problem with the union view except over the Linked server.<br />
<br />
Suggestions
