SQLServerDialect: Schemaexport generates varchar columns for length>8000 which is not allowed in SQL Server
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HHH-3137
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3137
             Project: Hibernate3
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.2.4.sp1
         Environment: Microsoft SQL Server 2005
            Reporter: Johannes Rudolph
            Priority: Minor
         Attachments: sqlserver.patch

MS SQL Server allows varchar columns to be only a maximum of 8000 bytes long. With length>8000 you have to use the 'text' type in SQL Server < 2005 and from 2005 on 'varchar(max)'.

Supplied a patch which fixes this.
