Re: freebcp out from MS SQL Server drops spaces [NC]

Hi,

Sent the source code to you and James.

In a nutshell, at the end of bcp::_bcp_exec_out inserted two segments:

                              /**
                               * Per ANSI Spec for fixed width character
columns, pad with spaces
                               * It would be more efficient to not trim the
data provided by the database, but that
                               * requires more extensive code change above.
                               */
                              if ((curcol->column_type == SYBCHAR) &&
(buflen < curcol->column_size)) {
                                    int pad;
                                    for (pad = buflen; pad <
curcol->column_size; pad++) {
                                          written = fwrite(" ", 1, 1,
hostfile);
                                          if (written < 1) {
                                                dbperror(dbproc, SYBEBCWE,
errno);
                                                return FAIL;
                                          }
                                    }
                              }

and

                  /** Output some progres information like Sybase BCP does
*/
                  if (rows_written % 1000 == 0) {
                        printf("%d rows successfully bulk-copied to
host-file.\n", rows_written);
                  }


In the freebcp.c source code added : after t: to make it an optional
argument option.

      while ((ch = getopt(argc, argv,
"m:f:e:F:L:b:t::r:U:P:I:S:h:T:A:O:0:ncEdvV")) != -1) {

Changed the case processing segment to

            case 't':
                  pdata->tflag++;
                  if (optarg == NULL) {
                        pdata->fieldterm = '\0';
                        pdata->fieldtermlen = 0;
                  } else {
                        pdata->fieldterm = strdup(optarg);
                        pdata->fieldtermlen = unescape(pdata->fieldterm);
                  }
                  break;

And replaced
            if (!pdata->tflag || !pdata->fieldterm) {  /* field terminator
not specified */
With
            if (!pdata->tflag) {     /* field terminator not specified */

I know, but you reported a misbehavior between FreeTDS and Microsoft
application
