Big thanks to Frediano for fixing bit columns in bcp.
I'm running into a problem using datacopy and numerics now. The decimals get truncated.
The problem is easy to reproduce:
create table tempdb..tbla (num numeric(10,2))
insert tempdb..tbla values (12345.67)
$ datacopy -c dbo -S SRV/usr/pw/tempdb/tbla -D SRV/usr/pw/tempdb/tblb
select * from tempdb..tbla
num
-------------
12345.67
select * from tempdb..tblb
num
-------------
12345.00
Note we lost 0.67. No error messages from data copy.
The problem occurs with both Sybase and MS SQL Server.
I’m running this on SPARC, if endianess matters.
Thanks,
John
