Question: What is the limit on SQL Server Maximum Columns per table? I have a very wide Excel worksheet and want to migrate the data to a SQL Server table - where we can then manage the data?
Answer: The standard SQL Server table maximum columns limit is 1024. Tables that include sparse column sets include up to 30,000 column
A Sparse column set combines the table's sparse columns and translates into a structured representation. The column set is not stored physically in a table.
