SQL Server Insert

Question

Hey gang, i was trying to test loading data into sql server via JDBC.
Here i am having problem. I have no problem inserting into columns, where the data type is 'int', and 'float' (SQL Server column type). But i am running into problem when i try to insert into data type 'text' (SQL Server column type).
here the code, may be this will explain better ;)
//DBConnection Class
public int executeUpdate(String sql, String [] parameter){
    int count=0;
    try {
      PreparedStatement stmt = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
      for (int i=0;i<parameter.length;i++){
        stmt.setObject(i+1,parameter);
stmt.executeUpdate();
stmt.close();
catch (Exception ex){
close();
return count;
//Main class where i call the function above
public static void main(String[] args) {
Main main1 = new Main();
DBConnection db = new DBConnection();
db.executeUpdate("Insert into pavan (text) values (?)",new String[]{"Pavan"});
db.close();
Also one more not, when i try to see the value on this insert, all i see '<Long text>' in SQL Server Enterprise Manager.

I believe that occurs when you have more characters than can be handled with the 'Text' datatype. You could potentially increase the length of your field, or use another datatype such as 'Varchar'
