In SQL Server, you can use the LEN function to determine the length of a string.

Here is an example of how to use the LEN function to determine the length of a string:

SELECT LEN('Hello World') AS StringLength;

Running the above code will return the length of the string “Hello World”, which is 11.

To return the length of a string in the query results, you can use the LEN function with the SELECT statement.

SELECT column_name, LEN(column_name) AS StringLength FROM table_name;

In this case, column_name is the name of the column in the table, and table_name is the name of the table. This will return the length of the string in each record of the table.
