I have a Perl program that writes binary data to a SQL Server image 
field using DBD::ODBC.

This works fine in Perl 5.8.8 build 822 ($DBD::ODBC::VERSION = '1.13';)

However, there are two problems with build 824 with an upgraded ODBC or 
with Perl 5.10.0 build 1004.

First - data written to the image field is being truncated, i.e. not all 
of the data shows up in the database. Writing the data to a file at the 
same time as writing to the database shows that program is still 
generating the data correctly, so the fault is with DBI or DBD::ODBC.

Second - on reading the data, ODBC thinks the size is longer than it 
actually is and gives me right truncation errors unless I increase the 
long read length by a factor of 10.

Does anyone have any clue as to what might be happening here for me. Any 
help would really be appreciated.

Thanks
Horace
