Hi experts,

I have a table called branch with columns
branch_code
branch_name
branch_desc
modified_by
modified_date

Here i have data for the 1st three columns and the rest 2 fields 'modified_by' and 'modified_date' has to get values automatically from the system...
I did a bulk insert to get the data into those 3 columns but it is expecting 'modified_by' and 'modified_date' fields.
How do i give it separately? the values in those last 2 fields should be given as 'system' and GETDATE()

Please help me with ur scripts

Have you designed your table with DEFAULT constraint?

Check this link (Keep Nulls or UseDefault Values During Bulk Import)
