| Yes,I need the comparisions between the two,I got only two differences1.bcp is a os command prompt,bulk insert is a t-sql command2.bcp can export & import the data into tables,bulk insert only imports the data into a table. |

| What have you done to compare them so far? Have you imported data using both methods? What were your results? |
