    bcp.exe Testdatabase.dbo.test in 1.txt -S Anand -U kumar -P kumar -t "," -r "" -c'

    For the above bcp command to load a file into clustered SQLSERVER, the following error is shown

    Does 1.txt exist in the same directory as where you are running the command from? You'd be better off using a full path name or, if not on the server, a full UNC.

    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.

    You need quotes around the path

    bcp.exe Testdatabase.dbo.test in "C:/1.txt" -S Anand -U kumar -P kumar -t "," -r "" -c'
