Examples

The following example creates a BulkInsertTask, and then shows the default settings of the properties, including the FormatFile, by using the TaskHost. The example then sets two fields to demonstrate how to set field values.

Remarks

A format file describes the data file that contains stored responses created by using the bcp utility on the same table or view. The format file should be used in the following cases:

The data file contains more or fewer columns than the table or view.
The columns are in a different order.
The column delimiters vary.
There are other changes in the data format.

Format files are typically created by using the bcp utility. The file can be modified with a text editor as needed. For more information, see bcp Utility.
