Brian,

That sounds like a bug, or at least, since it must work better for others to
have made it to a distribution, a strange behavior for some config or build
glitch.  You might try exporting TDSVER to different versions.  I am not yet
a freeTDS developer, but just for fun, try it in native (no -c) mode.

BTW, what platform are you running from, and is it a local make?

Best regards,

David

into MSSQL


Thanks David and team, today is a new day and with your insight I have
reattempted to bcp in with freebcp into MSSQL 2000.

I examined my input file and confirmed the \t filed terminator and the
\r row terminator.  I was even able to bcp out a simple 2 integer test
file from a simple 2 column table using the freebcp build, but the
native row terminator is not being detected causing the similar bcp in
to fail for row length errors. Furthermore, no error file is created
with the -e switch.  I think I have to be close but do not know what
next to try.

$ /mu/sdk/freetds/prod/bin/freebcp temp_bcp..test out /var/tmp/test2.out
-c -U$my_user -P$my_pwd -SBOMSSDEVL>

Starting copy...

3 rows copied.

$ od -c test2.out
0000000   9  \t   9  \n   8  \t   8  \n   7  \t   7  \n
0000014

$ /mu/sdk/freetds/prod/bin/freebcp temp_bcp..test in /var/tmp/test2.out
-c -U$my_user -P$my_pwd -SBOMSSDEVL1>

Starting copy...

Brian,

If it follows the Sybase bcp, the \n is the default.  Note that in the
shell, you must double barefoot backslashes of control character
metastrings:

http://manuals.sybase.com/onlinebooks/group-as/asg1250e/util/@ebt-link;p
t=18
06?target=%25N%15_10086_START_RESTART_N%25

-c

performs the copy operation with char datatype as the default storage
type
of all columns in the data file. Use this format if you are sharing data
between platforms. This parameter does not prompt for each field; it
uses
char as the default storage type, no prefixes, 

\t
(tab) as the default field terminator, and 
\n
(new line) as the default row terminator

Best regards,

David

It should work with just the -c option, regardless of the version.
take a look at your data file, using 'od' perhaps, to see what's
*really* terminating the row.
