Hi,

We have a database table that we pre-populate with data as part of our deployment procedure. Since one of the columns is binary (it's a binary serialized object) we use BCP to copy the data into the table.

So far this has worked very well, however, today we tried this technique on a Windows Server 2008 machine for the first time and noticed that not all of the columns were being updated. Out of the 31 rows that are normally inserted as part of this operation, only 2 rows actually had their binary columns populated correctly. The other 29 rows simply had null values for their binary column. This is the first situation where we've seen an issue like this and this is the same .dat file that we use for all of our deployments.

Has anyone else ever encountered this issue before or have any insight as to what the issue could be?

Thanks in advance, Jeremy
