VerifiedData Modeling and Management

A developer is querying data from the _Bounce data view and saving it in a data extension. They have discovered that the SMTPBounceReason and SMTPCode fields sometimes exceed the 4,000-character limit specified for each field in the DE schema. After consulting the original requestor, they decided they could store only the first 4,000 characters of each field.

Which SQL function can be used for this purpose?

Explanation

LEFT returns a specified number of characters from the beginning of a character string, so LEFT(SMTPBounceReason, 4000) and LEFT(SMTPCode, 4000) retain the first 4,000 characters for storage within the field limit.
