  Hello, I'm trying to import some data from a .dat plain text file to SQL using the following BCP command.

  bcp dbname.dbo.tablename in DataFile.dat -f format.fmt -F2 -T -S "servername, ####" > bcp.log

  After the data imports to SQL. We have a tab at the start of our data for each row in the first column of the table.

  Our Datafile.Dat has a tab at the end of each line to define a new line. I have attached a sample of our format file.

  Any help would be appreciated. 🙂
