BCP question

  • What is sintax for BCP command for  -S (server_name) when SQL Server is using non-default communication port ?

    When I connect to SQL Server I have to type not just a server name in Server Name box, but listening post as well, like SERVERNAME,12345  . But in BCP coma does not work. Does anybody know the sintax for it ?

    Thanks

     

     

  • I don't think it requires to specify the port number... BCP gets it dynamically port number...

    If you want to specify you have to use like "-S SERVERNAME;12345 "

  • It might work if you created an alias for the server with the nonstandard port in the Configuration Manager on the client, then used the alias name in the BCP command.
