RecordSet.getString truncating data ?

Question

I'm trying to read a MS SQL Server 2000 table as a XML document using the code below. rs.getString always returns a string of maximum length 2033 no matter what the table is. I have tried it with different JDBC drivers with the same result. Any pointers for me? Thanks.
Class.forName("com.jnetdirect.jsql.JSQLDriver");
String url = "jdbc:JSQLConnect://localhost/database=master&user=sa&password=pass";
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM sysobjects FOR XML RAW");
rs.next();
String s = rs.getString(1);
System.out.println(s);
System.out.println(s.length());
rs.close();
stmt.close();
con.close();

The problem is not with the Windows/SQL Server version. It's with the driver. It probably cannot convert TEXT values to String (maybe it avoids creating several megabyte Strings this way).
The "official" way you should do this would be to use InputStreams instead of Strings. It should work that way.
