    I have huge table around 5 million rows in source table (i.e Sybase server) .Need to copy 5 million rows from Sybase to SQL Server table.

    I have tried with below command i.e. BCP out from Sybase table to file.

    bcp DBname..tablename out C:\filename.bcp -SSybaseservername -UUname -Ppwd -c -t ~ -r \r -T 10048000

    However, I got warnings "some characters could not be converted into client's character set. Unconverted bytes were changes to question mark"

    Does anyone has came across this kind of issues before?

    Thanks

    Try using -CRAW...

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    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.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

    Do you think it cannot be done with BCP?

    Thanks

    I absolutely think BCP will do it. That's why I recommend using the -CRAW command line switch for BCP. 😀
