今天我在 SQL Server（2008R2 和 2012）中遇到了一个非常奇怪的问题。我正在尝试使用串联和结合来构建一个字符串select陈述。
我发现生成的字符串仅包含一个输入字符串 - 不是我所期望的所有输入字符串的串联结果。
我已经找到了解决方法，但我真的很想了解这里发生了什么以及为什么它没有给我预期的结果。有人可以向我解释一下吗？

根据要求，这里还有代码：
-- base table
create table bla (
[id] int identity(1,1) primary key,
[priority] int,
[msg] nvarchar(max),
[autofix] bit
)
-- table without primary key on id column
create table bla2 (
[id] int identity(1,1),
[priority] int,
[msg] nvarchar(max),
[autofix] bit
)
-- table with nvarchar(1000) instead of max
create table bla3 (
[id] int identity(1,1) primary key,
[priority] int,
[msg] nvarchar(1000),
[autofix] bit
)
-- fill the three tables with the same values
insert into bla ([priority], [msg], [autofix])
values (1, 'A', 0),
(2, 'B', 0)
insert into bla2 ([priority], [msg], [autofix])
values (1, 'A', 0),
(2, 'B', 0)
insert into bla3 ([priority], [msg], [autofix])
values (1, 'A', 0),
(2, 'B', 0)
;
declare @a nvarchar(max) = ''
declare @b nvarchar(max) = ''
declare @c nvarchar(max) = ''
declare @d nvarchar(max) = ''
declare @e nvarchar(max) = ''
declare @f nvarchar(max) = ''
-- I expect this to work and generate 'AB', but it doesn't
select @a = @a + [msg]
from bla
where autofix = 0
order by [priority] asc
-- this DOES work: convert nvarchar(4000)
select @b = @b + convert(nvarchar(4000),[msg])
from bla
where autofix = 0
order by [priority] asc
-- this DOES work: without WHERE clause
select @c = @c + [msg]
from bla
--where autofix = 0
order by [priority] asc
-- this DOES work: without the order by
select @d = @d + [msg]
from bla
where autofix = 0
--order by [priority] asc
-- this DOES work: from bla2, so without the primary key on id
select @e = @e + [msg]
from bla2
where autofix = 0
order by [priority] asc
-- this DOES work: from bla3, so with msg nvarchar(1000) instead of nvarchar(max)
select @f = @f + [msg]
from bla3
where autofix = 0
order by [priority] asc
select @a as a, @b as b, @c as c, @d as d, @e as e, @f as f
