Comparison between 6.5 and 2000 inserts

Hi,
I am kind of baffeled. I have a table with a column of 8 varchar in 2000
and the same in 6.5. When I insert into 2000 with a data length of more tha
n
8 chars via Cold Fusion into the table, it fails. The same Cold Fusion
program inserts into the 6.5 table, but truncates the data but does not fail
.
Does anyone know why this happens. Thanks.

insert in 6.5 if I run the insert statement, where the data is longer that 8
char, via sql server query analyzer and not via Cold Fusion? Shouldn't it
also work in sql query analyzer? Thanks.

where ColdFusion doesn't
(leaves it to default).
