Hi everyone,
nothing happens when I run this in command prompt:
bcp CRIS_IST.dbo.Blaze69Repository in blazerepo.cris.bcp -T -c -SLUWZD5584 -Uroger -Proger
the table isn't getting loaded with the data which is in blazerepo.cris.bcp.
How do i resolve this?
Thanks.

Never mind...

First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Nothing. A window flashes for a milli sec..I'm not able to find what the exact error is...

Does the command look ok to you?

What happens if you just enter:

bcp -v

And then again, I might be wrong ...

Provide complete path for the input file under double quotes.

bcp CRIS_IST.dbo.Blaze69Repository in "c:\...\...\blazerepo.cris.bcp" -T -c -SLUWZD5584 -Uroger -Proger

you can use -o to write to an output file and -e to write to an error file. This will give you some idea as to what is happening. You can also run the BCP command from a command line instead of a batch file, then you can see some of what is going on as well. Finally, you are using -T which is for a trusted connection, but then you are passing UserID and Password paramters. You don't need the -U and -P parms if the Trusted Connection is good

Both Sumit and Mike have some good pointers for getting this working.
