How do I increase column limit in SQL Server?
SQL/Server will support up to 30,000 columns per table but to achieve this columns above the 1024 limit must be created as SPARSE columns. A sparse column is a column whose value is stored in a special column that contains an XML document.
Tools>>Configure>>System Settings>>Display tab. Increase the number for "Maximum number of records shown in SQL Query results:" Click OK. Test.
Here is how to increase field length in MySQL. Let us say you have a VARCHAR column with length 20, and want to increase its length to 255. In this case, you need to use ALTER TABLE statement to increase column size. ALTER TABLE table_name MODIFY column_name varchar(new_length);
To change the data type, or the size of a table column we have to use the ALTER TABLE statement. The ALTER TABLE statement is used to add, delete, or modify columns in an existing table. The ALTER TABLE statement is also used to add and drop various constraints on an existing table.
You can include non-key columns in a nonclustered index, to avoid the limitation of a maximum of 32 key columns. For more information, see Create Indexes with Included Columns. Tables that include sparse column sets include up to 30,000 columns.

| SQL Server Database Engine object | Maximum values for SQL Server (64-bit) |
|---|---|
| Columns per table | 1,024 |
| Columns per UPDATE statement | 4,096 |
| Columns per view | 1,024 |
| Connections per client | Maximum value of configured connections |
Expand Databases, right-click the database to increase, and then click Properties. In Database Properties, select the Files page. To increase the size of an existing file, increase the value in the Initial Size (MB) column for the file. You must increase the size of the database by at least 1 megabyte.
Discussion: To find the max value of a column, use the MAX() aggregate function; it takes as its argument the name of the column for which you want to find the maximum value. If you have not specified any other columns in the SELECT clause, the maximum will be calculated for all records in the table.
Limiting Rows with a row number variable
DECLARE @rownum INT = 0; SELECT @rownum = @rownum + 1 AS RowNumber, * FROM Customers WHERE @rownum <= 10; In this example, the @rownum variable is used to keep track of the row number, and the WHERE clause is used to limit the number of rows returned to 10.
