BCP is pretty fast. Seems you have an I/O issue...? Is same query slow in Query Analyzer?

Heh... BCP is anything but slow unless there's a bad query driving it or you have a disk I/O problem. Either problem will hinder all other methods as well.

As a sidebar, I'd just about give my eye-teeth to know how to export to a test file using BULK INSERT ;-)
