BUG# 9827 (4.2) SYMPTOMSWhen using the BCP.EXE utility to extract data from a SQL Server, large text and image fields are truncated to 64 kilobytes. CAUSEBCP.EXE cannot extract more than the first 64K of data from a text or image field in a SQL Server table. WORKAROUNDIf performing a server to server data transfer to SQL Server for Windows NT, the SQL Transfer Manager can be successfully used to transfer large text or image fields. If exporting data to a flat file, it may be necessary to write a DB-Library (DB-Lib) program that makes use of the dbreadtext() function to extract large blocks of text and image data. STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in BCP version 4.2. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available. Additional query words: db-lib dblib bulk load import
