I'm using Sybase (TDS 5) and am running into a problem using datacopy (from 0.91) when a table has more than one bit column.
The problem is easy to reproduce:
create table tempdb..bob (bit1 bit, bit2 bit)
insert tempdb..bob values (1,0)
$ datacopy -c dbo -S SRV/usr/pw/tempdb/bob -D SRV/usr/pw/tempdb/bob2
Msg 4837, Level 16, State 2
Server 'SRV', Line 1
Bad row data received from the client while bulk copying into object 1328007762 in database 2. Received a row of length 4 while maximum possible row length is 3.
Msg 4837, Level 16
General SQL Server error: Check messages from the SQL Server
bcp_done failed.
datacopy: table copy failed.
the data may have been partially copied into the target database
I searched the archives and found this thread:
"bcp currently broken for BIT type in TDS 5.0"
http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/freetds/2006q4/020788.html
I couldn't find anything more about it. I realize it was almost 8 years ago, but does anyone have any more info?
