Stop SQL Text Truncation in Emails

Sharing SQL query results via email is common, but long texts or query outputs often get cut off.

This happens because email systems have character limits or auto-format large text, leaving you with incomplete information.

Here’s how to avoid SQL Truncation and ensure your data gets delivered in full:
  1. Filter Your Data: Only include necessary fields and rows in your query results.

  2. Use Attachments: Save your results as a CSV or Excel file and send it as an attachment.

  3. Format Smartly: Use HTML tables for better organization and clarity in emails.

  4. Upgrade Tools: Leverage plugins designed to handle and share large datasets.
