SQL SERVER – Difference between Line Feed (\n) and Carriage Return (\r) – T-SQL New Line Char- New Line in T-SQL

Today one of friend named Aneesh come and asks me about the difference between Line Feed and carriage Return. To be frank I don’t know the technical term of for a new line in OS.I searched in the Google and got some good results. I will explain what I learnt from internet.

Line feed: ‘\n’

Carriage Return: ‘\r’

SQL SERVER 2005

In sql server 2005 both Line feed and Carriage will work separately.
