Tack för förslagen. Jag har kommit på följande lösning. Det ger mig de data jag behöver men skulle vara intresserad av att se om det kan göras mer effektivt.
declare @results table
(
ID varchar(36),
TableName varchar(250),
ColumnName varchar(250),
DataType varchar(250),
MaxLength varchar(250),
Longest varchar(250),
SQLText varchar(250)
)
INSERT INTO @results(ID,TableName,ColumnName,DataType,MaxLength,Longest,SQLText)
SELECT
NEWID(),
Object_Name(c.object_id),
c.name,
t.Name,
case
when t.Name != 'varchar' Then 'NA'
when c.max_length = -1 then 'Max'
else CAST(c.max_length as varchar)
end,
'NA',
'SELECT Max(Len(' + c.name + ')) FROM ' + OBJECT_SCHEMA_NAME(c.object_id) + '.' + Object_Name(c.object_id)
FROM
sys.columns c
INNER JOIN
sys.types t ON c.system_type_id = t.system_type_id
WHERE
c.object_id = OBJECT_ID('MyTable')
DECLARE @id varchar(36)
DECLARE @sql varchar(200)
declare @receiver table(theCount int)
DECLARE length_cursor CURSOR
FOR SELECT ID, SQLText FROM @results WHERE MaxLength != 'NA'
OPEN length_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM length_cursor
INTO @id, @sql
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
INSERT INTO @receiver (theCount)
exec(@sql)
UPDATE @results
SET Longest = (SELECT theCount FROM @receiver)
WHERE ID = @id
DELETE FROM @receiver
FETCH NEXT FROM length_cursor
INTO @id, @sql
END
CLOSE length_cursor
DEALLOCATE length_cursor
SELECT
TableName,
ColumnName,
DataType,
MaxLength,
Longest
FROM
@results
