    it depends on the data.

  • RE: Problem using bcp

    this looks wrong.

    it should be either localhost\instance or machinename\instance

    so i'd expect some of these to be right:

    -S localhost\SQLEXPRESS

    -S .\SQLEXPRESS

    -S PSIMONDS\SQLEXPRESS (asuming your machine is named PSIMONDS!)

    -S 127.0.0.1\SQLEXPRESS
