Storing large amounts of text

I am using a access database to store data that is accesses by an asp web
page. When I format a field as text the most that I can store in it is 255
characters. Is there a way of storing larger amounts of text in a field?

What is the best way to add several pages of text to a readonly TextBox? The text does not change and was created in a Word rtf document but could as easly be put in a ASCII text file. Can this be done using a resource or something? Can TextBoxes be attached to data sources other than database objects? Thanks, Dennis

Hi, I am trying to build a tool that analyzes stock data. Therefore I am going to download and store quite a vast amount of it. Just for a general number - assuming there are about 7000 listed stocks on the two major markets plus some extras, 255 tradying days a year for 20 years, that is about 36 million entries. Obviously a database is a logical choice for that. However I've never used one, nor do I know what benefits I would get...

After reading some articles regarding confuguration data I'm a bit confused. Where is the right place for storing configuration data? - XML-files? - registry? - INI-files? (from a users point of view, ini-files are more comfortable to read and edit) Where should I store user specific config data? Where should I store machine specific config data?

Hello everyone: I am looking for everyone's thoughts on moving large amounts (actually, not very large, but large enough that I'm throwing exceptions using the default configurations). We're doing a proof-of-concept on WCF whereby we have a Windows form client and a Server. Our server is a middle-tier that interfaces with our SQL 05 database server.

I have been doing research, and according to what I have found, the field format TEXT supposedly supports unlimited storage. I have a web application, which I am trying to write a save function for. The save function gets all of the dynamic parts of the page, and inputs them into a MySQL databse. I was running into problems on pages that have a lot of generated content (mainly due to generated drop down menus with options). The end result is...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.
