如果varbinary数据的长度大于2000，则sys.fn_varbintohexstr返回NULL

如果VARBINARY数据长度最大为2000，则sys.fn_varbintohexstr可以正常工作。如果长度大于2000，则sys.fn_varbintohexstr返回NULL。我想念什么？

select datalength(@testvarbinary)

SELECT  sys.fn_varbintohexstr(@testvarbinary)

有许多避免使用系统标量函数的原因sys.fn_varbintohexstr：

• 它没有文档记录，不受支持。您不会在联机丛书中找到它，如果报告了问题，则客户支持服务没有义务为您提供帮助。

• 它是T-SQL标量函数。这些可能是邪恶的。

• Microsoft不会指派他们最好和最聪明的工程师来开发T-SQL这样的奇数位。

• 该功能无疑会充分发挥其内部作用，但不会针对该内部要求以外的用途或性能进行过测试。

有许多受支持的方法可以正确地执行此转换（包括XML方法），因此根本没有理由使用它sys.fn_varbintohexstr。

也许我最喜欢的SQL Server 2005解决方案是使用扩展库，例如SQL＃^*，它在免费版本中包含合适的转换功能。在SQL Server 2008和更高版本中，使用对此转换提供直接支持CONVERT。

-- Example conversion using the SQL# library
SELECT SQL#.Convert_BinaryToHexString (@testvarbinary);

_{*除了使用SQL＃产品之外，我与它没有任何关联。}

如果您感兴趣，可以使用以下命令查看系统标量函数的定义：

SELECT OBJECT_DEFINITION(OBJECT_ID(N'sys.fn_varbintohexsubstring', N'FN'));

或（用于换行的输出）：

EXECUTE sys.sp_helptext
    @objname = N'sys.fn_varbintohexsubstring';

在SQL Server 2005中，代码包含以下检查：

if ( ((@cbytesin * 2) + 2 > 4000) or ((@cbytesin * 2) + 2 < 1) )
    return NULL

在更高版本中：

--the output limit for nvarchar(max) is 2147483648 (2^31) bytes, that is 1073741824 (2^30) unicode characters
if ( ((@cbytesin * 2) + 2 > 1073741824) or ((@cbytesin * 2) + 2 < 1) or ( @cbytesin is null ))
    return NULL
