Tool to export SQL Server [TEXT, NTEXT, VARCHAR(MAX), NVARCHAR(MAX)] (CLOB) data to files in Linux

SQL Server doesn’t have a direct equivalent to the traditional CLOB (Character Large Object) data type like some other databases. However, the VARCHAR(MAX) and NVARCHAR(MAX) data types in SQL Server can be used to store large amounts of character data, similar to what a CLOB is used for in other systems.

Sometimes you need to export SQL Server [TEXT, NTEXT, VARCHAR(MAX), NVARCHAR(MAX)] (CLOB) data to files, you can use Withdata DBBlobEditor as SQL Server [TEXT, NTEXT, VARCHAR(MAX), NVARCHAR(MAX)] (CLOB) exporter.
