I couldn't find anything related to this so far. I am implementing the Change Data Capture features on a SQL 2008 R2 server, and I've noticed some odd behavior for fields with a ntext datatype. I've enabled CDC on a table, and I want to track the values
of the columns on an update, so the SQL Server generated cdc table writes out two records. One for the data before the change, and one after. The record with the _$operation type of 3 (i.e. before the change) shows any columns that are of type ntext to have
NULL values, rather than the actual values that the column held. Columns of other datatypes show as expected. Maybe this is the expected behavior because of the datatype, but I couldn't find any documentation that leads me to believe that should be the case.
Does this seem correct to anyone else? Thanks.
