BUG: Oledb32.dll Truncates Data at the Embedded Null-termination Character if a Column Is Bound to DBTYPE_WSTR

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. In a SQL server database named PUBS, create a table with a varchar column, as follows:

   CREATE TABLE myTest (col1 varchar (20) NOT NULL)
   					

2. Insert a record into this table with 0x00 embedded in the data, as follows:

    INSERT INTO testVarchar VALUES (0x4142430044)
   					

3. In Microsoft Visual C++ version 6.0, create a new Console Application project that contains the following code:

   #define UNICODE
   #define _UNICODE
   #define DBINITCONSTANTS
   #define INITGUID
   #define MAX_LEN 100
   
   #include <windows.h>
   #include <stdio.h>
   #include <oledb.h>
   #include <oledberr.h>

4. Build and run the project. Note that Oledb32.dll truncates the string at the null-termination character, so that the data that is retrieved is as follows:

      Length:6
      Value:41042043
   					

         Length:10
         Value:4104204300044
