### Known issues
37+
#### bcp_bind terminator issue
38+
When we use ‘terminator’ as the separator in bcp_bind for strings, two consecutive terminators in data can mean either NULL value or empty string. ODBC doesn’t have a way to distinguish between empty strings vs null strings.
39+
- Prior to 18.6.1.1 release, ODBC used to interpret consecutive terminators (0-length data) as empty strings.
40+
- In 18.6.1.1 release, a change was made to interpret such 0-length data as a NULL value instead of empty string
41+
In the next ODBC release, we will roll back this change so that we have pre-18.6.1.1 behaviour
