How to insert a line break in a SQL Server VARCHAR/NVARCHAR string

Question

I didn't see any similar questions asked on this topic, and I had to research this for something I'm working on right now. Thought I would post the answer for it in case anyone else had the same question.

Answer 1

char(13)  is CR(Carriage Return) . 

For DOS-/Windows-style CRLF linebreaks, you need to use char(13)+char(10), like this:

'This is line 1.' + CHAR(13)+CHAR(10) + 'This is line 2.'
