What are the difference between data length and length in SQL Server-2008?..

Answer / bindu

The DATALENGTH function counts both trailing spaces and preceeding spaces when calculating the length of the expression.
The DATALENGTH function will return NULL, if the expression is NULL.

The LEN function does NOT count trailing spaces at the end of the string when calculating the length of the string.
The LEN function does count spaces at the start of the string when calculating the length of the string.
The LEN function will return NULL, if the string is NULL.
