We currently use the SQL Publishing Wizard to back up our database schemas and data, however we have some database tables with hashed passwords that contain the null character (chr(0)). When SQL Publishing Wizard generates the insert data scripts, the null character causes errors when we try and run the resulting SQL - it appears to ignore ALL TEXT after the first instance of this character in a script. We recently tried out RedGate SQL Compare, and found that it has the same issue with this character. I have confirmed it is ascii character code 0 by running the ascii() sql function against the offending record.
A sample of the error we are getting is:
Unclosed quotation mark after the character string ??`????{??0???
The fun part is, I can t really paste a sample Insert statement because of course everything that appears after the CHR(0) is being omitted when pasting!
