| Is it possible to append data to the same file using BCP.Basically whenever the BCP is initiated it should append to the same csv file. |

| No as bcp overwrites the file if it exists. So to append, you can use the type DOS command:type SmallFile.csv > BigFile.csvTara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/ |

| Oops, that should say type SmallFile.csv >> BigFile.csv since in this example BigFile.csv should already exist. You can also use wild cards: type *.* > BigFile.csv or type *.* >> BigFile.csv.Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/ |
