bcp

How can I backup my sybase tables and restore using command line? please help me with the command using bcp I have tried using sybase central GUI Thanks. Michael Gardner Since you didn't specify whether you are running on Windows or Unix I'll try to cover both. Unix bcp is located in $SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/bin/ Windows bcp is located in %SYBASE%\%SYBASE_OCS%\bin Export bcp DB_NAME..TABLE_NAME out TABLE_NAME.bcp -Sservername -Uusername -Ppassword -[c or n] Choose either -c or -n depending if you want the file to be human readable or not. I recommend using -n unless you have a compelling need to

I have an ASP.NET app that takes multimegabyte file uploads, writes them to disk, and later MSSQL 2008 loads them with BCP. I would like to move the whole thing to Azure, but since there are no "files" for BCP, can anyone comment on how to get bulk data from an Azure app into SQL Azure? I did see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.sqlclient.sqlbulkcopy.aspx but am not sure if that applies. Thanks. BCP is one way to do it. This post explains it in three easy steps: Bulk insert with Azure SQL Loading data to SQL Azure the fast way You are on the right track. The Bulk Copy API

I was working trying to get this bcp tool to work in a particular way. The -c switch is supposed to export using chars, but for some reason there was a weird char showing in Notepad++ like if it was UNICODE or some other formatting. I wanted to get that char, which was an Empty string in the database, to export as an empty string into the text file. How do you do that? mimoralea Well, after looking around the web this is what I found. Thought to put it in SO so more people have access to it. http://www.techtalkz.com/microsoft-sql-server/147106-how-export-empty-strings-via-bcp.html But when I

I have recently encountered an error while working with bcp. Here is the error. SQLState = 22001, NativeError = 0 Error = [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0]String data, right truncation I'm trying to unpack the data into a staging table which does not have any constraints and the datatypes are also fairly large when compared to the data. I have about 11 files from different tables being bcp'd and zipped out of which only one file when unpacking errors out. This is the command which I have been using succesfully. Very recently(when trying to make a copy of the current WH and settign up

I have a csv file and i need to import it to a table in sql 2005 or 2008. The column names and count in the csv are different from the table column names and count. The csv is splitted by a ';' . Example CSV FILEcontents: FirstName;LastName;Country;Age Roger;Mouthout;Belgium;55 SQL Person Table Columns: FName,LName,Country I'd create a temporary table, bulk insert the lot, select into the new table what you need and drop the temporary table. Something like CREATE TABLE dbo.TempImport ( FirstName varchar(255), LastName varchar(255), Country varchar(255), Age varchar(255) ) GO BULK INSERT dbo

I need to export a fairly large SQL Server table ~100GB to a CSV file. But rather than the output be a single csv file, it should ideally be multiple files say 10 files each 10GB. I see BCP has a batch_size argument but this still writes all data to a single file? Are there other free utilities for doing what I require? Either where the size of file can be specified in bytes or number of rows? For bit of context this is so the data can be combined with other sources in a Hive/Hadoop platform, so if there are better ways of exporting the data I'm open for suggestions. I think you could use SQL
