Update load-data-to-from-excel-with-ssis.md #4682
Conversation
Under "Export long text values" the second option to create the excel file using a sql statement and columns of type LONGTEXT does NOT appear to work. Only the first option works - having at least one row with data in each column > 255 double byte characters (i.e. 512 normal ones) _already_ before writing anymore rows works. So one can only make this work with an initial, manually created, dummy row. Delete the second option - it may work for other data destinations but not for Excel.
