RE: Bulkcopy

>From what I know, bulk copy or bcp as it is called in the MS SQL Server
world, is equivalent to Oracle's export/import. So instead of exporting/importing data they must bcp'ing it in/out of the SQL Server database. Per MS web site posting, the newer MS SQL Server improved the bulk copy performance by 57%. (Must have added options similar to 'direct=y' and 'buffer=' in exp/imp ;)
