fastinsert returns "Numeric value out of range" error, but insert works

Hi! I have a situation where, on precisely the same data set, fastinsert is returning

"Java exception occurred: sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcBatchUpdateException: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Numeric value out of range"

but insert works. Looking at the help for fastinsert I see:

"...fastinsert ... supports more (emphasis added) object types than insert"

and the only exception to that I see documented is

"The fastinsert function only supports dates in U.S. format; that is, dates in mm/dd/yyyy format."

I did have this problem, but I corrected it (at least, the error I was getting before is different than the one cited above).

Is anyone aware of any other (undocumented) fastinsert limitations? Any other ideas?

Thanks!

P.S.: I completely removed the datetime strings from the data set and am still getting the same error, so it's definitely something else.

OK, I've narrowed the problem down to three fields that are type TINYINT in "my" DB ("my" is in quotes 'cause it's not really mine to do with as I please, or I'd just change these all to SMALLINT). I found the following in the Database Toolbox User's Guide, section "Before You Begin," sub-section "Supported Data Types":

TINYINT

Note The Database Toolbox software interprets this data type as BOOLEAN and imports it into the MATLAB workspace as logical true (1) or false (0).

As I had been trying to insert the maximum SQL Server documented value for this type, 255, that must've been the problem, right? Wrong: I changed it to zero and still got the same "Numeric value of range" error! But, again, insert has no problem with these, only fastinsert is balking--is this a known, undocumented "feature" of fastinsert? Or have I stumbled across a bug?
