私は今日、SQL Server（2008R2と2012の両方）で本当に奇妙な問題に遭遇しました。selectステートメントと組み合わせて連結を使用して文字列を作成しようとしています。
回避策を見つけましたが、ここで何が起こっているのか、なぜ期待した結果が得られないのかを本当に理解したいと思います。誰かが私にそれを説明できますか？

リクエストに応じて、ここのコードも：
-- 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
