If the Excel DDT driver retrieves data by using the Microsoft Excel ODBC driver, the latter can truncate cell data to 255 symbols. To determine the data type of a column, Excel scans the column cells of the first 8 rows. If each of these cells contains text shorter than 256 characters, all the subsequent cell values will be truncated to 255 symbols. For more information on this problem and on possible workarounds, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/189897/.
