Limit on size of text parameter type in stored procedures?

Hi,
I use stored procedures in combination with openxml. XML text is sent to the
stored procedures as a "text" type parameter.
Is there a limit on the size that this can be? I intend to pass very large
XML documents so its important for us that there is no size limit.
Thanks!The size limit of text and ntext parameters is 2GB. If you show me an XML
document of that size, I will show you with high probability a design
mistake :-).
Best regards

SQL Server would cope with our requirements.
Thanks a lot for the info!!!!

will have to make sure that your SQL Server instance will have at least x mb
(size of doc) * 4 (avg overhead of DOM) * 8 (1/8th usage limit for OpenXML
in SQL Server) memory available to get acceptable performance. For such
large documents in SQL Server 2000, we normally recommend to use the SQLXML
Bulkload object instead of OpenXML.
