Here is the query I ran
select CAST(PageGuid as varchar(max)) + ',' + CAST(TenantGuid as varchar(max)) + '/' + CAST(OriginalFileGuid as varchar(max))
from Pages
This worked with tsql but when run with bsqldb I get empty lines instead of results.
I confirmed that bsqldb works by running other simple queries. So why is this one not working?
Here is the verbose output
bsqldb:163: Verbose operation enabled
bsqldb:212: Query:

I suspect the one of the values is NULL, so the whole expression concatenation is NULL.
