PRB: AppendChunk from ADO or RDS Doubles Binary Field Size

This article was previously published under Q200261

SYMPTOMS

When you use AppendChunk from either ADO or Remote Data Service (RDS) from scripting (JScript or Visual Basic(r) Scripting Edition) to update a binary field, the result is twice as large as the original.

CAUSE

In scripting, all data types are considered Variant and therefore default to Unicode.

RESOLUTION

Call AppendChunk from within a Component Object Model (COM) object that is written in a language that supports data types other than Variant.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
