问题
I have a legacy system that has byte arrays of images(jpg) stored in the database in varbinary(max) columns. What is the default encoding being used by sql bcp to create the string that it writes to the flat file? Also, can I change the encoding?
回答1:
When you output using bcp the default format is native or you can force that with the -n (-N will also work since it stores noncharacter data as native).
Kalman Toth's website has an example http://www.sqlusa.com/bestpractices/imageimportexport/
