Win-BCP Lite v1.13

About Win-BCP Lite

Win-BCP Lite is the only basic bulk copy utility you will need. Compared to the bulk copy command line program supplied with SQL Sever, Win-BCP Lite's intuitive GUI interface makes the setup and execution of bulk copy routines fast and easy. Win-BCP Lite streamlines the process of creation and execution of bulk copies and also provides management features that enable you to logically store and access all of your bulk copy routines. 

Features include:

Export and Import Text Data From SQL Server
Support for Dropping and Restoring Table Indexes 
Support for Dropping and Restoring Table Triggers 
Support for Truncating Table Rows 
Support for viewing different message level information 
Intuitive GUI Interface 
Project Management 

Win-BCP Lite allows you to do everything the bulk copy command line program does and more. Now a single application provides bulk copy services where indexes and triggers are save , dropped, and restored, table rows are truncated prior to bulk copy and SQL messages can be directly viewed and logged.

Using Win-BCP Lite with MS-SQL 6.0

  MS-SQL 6.0 16-bit DB-Library contains a bug which will not enable you to bulk copy DECIMAL or NUMERIC types. Until Microsoft solves this problem and releases a new W3DBLIB.DLL a work around can be achieved by replacing all of the DECIMAL and NUMERIC references in you format (*.fmt) files with a SYSCHAR of a length large enough to accommodate the data. Use this short example as a template:

ERROR FORMAT FILE

6.0
2
1       DECIMAL       1       19      ""        1       decimal_test
2       NUMERIC       1       19      ""        2       numeric_test

WORK AROUND FORMAT FILE

6.0
2
1       SQLCHAR       0       20      ""        1       decimal_test
2       SQLCHAR       0       20      ""        2       numeric_test
