title: Inserting to SQL Server NTEXT Field
body: <p>I want to insert a row into a SQL Server table via Laravel Query Builder.</p>
  
  <p>I'm converting unicode characters with the method below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mb_convert_encoding($value, 'UCS-2LE', mb_detect_encoding($value, mb_detect_order(), true))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Everything works fine except for <code>ntext</code> fields. I cannot insert a row if there exists an <code>ntext</code> field. I can insert as <code>NULL</code>. But I cannot insert anyting in the <code>ntext</code> field.</p>
  
  <p>But inserting for other types is working fine. And I'm getting a <code>SQL Server 206 error</code> when the data for the <code>ntext</code> field is not null.</p>
  
  <p>What is the problem ?</p>
