>>>Hi,

>>>I came across an issue with Text type column that UPPER() function (that is used a lot in my app) does not work on Text but works on Varchar(max). Before I go ahead and change all my memo fields (in SQL Server) to Varchar(max), is there a downside of not using Text for memo? TIA.

Yes, go ahead.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
