Getting over the 8192 SQL Server truncation limit in SSMS

Today, I was trying to find out whether any workflow was modifying an entity as my memory was somewhat hazy and since I was already logged on the database server, I thought I'd check on the database server, but alas I couldn't as the results were being truncated, which made the query useless.

I whinged a bit to a colleague who simply said:

Why don't you cast the xaml to xml?

My response was, I didn't know that casting the xaml to xml would help, but it does.

select top 1 name, cast (xaml as xml) from workflow
where xaml like '%Process%'

This is the result:

Clicking on the xaml will open a the workflow definition on different window as an xml document.
