title: How to insert a string with ( / ) in SQL Server database?
body: <p>I have string that contains a "/".</p>
  
  <p>How can insert that string into database table column?</p>
  
  <p>When I tried to insert record using simple query like :</p>
  
  <pre><code>insert into XYZ 
  values (2567, '364722988', 'ABC', 'IL/ITO-CLVB DEPT APO AE')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get an error: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Msg 8152, Level 16, State 4, Line 14<br>
    String or binary data would be truncated.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>When I remove "/" from my query it will allow me to enter data.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestion would be appreciated.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong></p>
  
  <p>I already checked column length, it is not an issue here.</p>
