I did some additional tests, trying to force a memo with substr() or padr() - the usual error message is "string is too long to fit".
I have the impression that you will simply have to use a non-SQL solution, for instance, copy all other fields to a cursor, include an empty memo field, and then apply a relation and a REPLACE.
I suspect that in the meantime, you must already have done something similar.
