IBCPSession (OLE DB)
Applies to: 
SQL Server
Azure SQL Database
Azure SQL Managed Instance
Azure Synapse Analytics
Analytics Platform System (PDW)
The IBCPSession interface exposes support for SQL Server file-based bulk copy operations. The IBCPSession interface is exposed in the OLE DB Driver for SQL Server under the same level as Sessions. In the OLE DB Driver for SQL Server, data source objects are factories for Session objects, and bulk copy operations are specified in the connection property SSPROP_ENABLEBULKCOPY. In addition, the SSPROP_ENABLEFASTLOAD property should be set to true.
Calling the IDBCreateSession::CreateSession method will then result in the creation of a BulkCopySession object. All the file-based bulk copy methods exposed through the IBCPSession object are then callable with nearly similar signatures on this IBCPSession object's IBCPSession interface.
Note
The OLE DB Driver for SQL Server supports memory-based bulk copy operations through the IRowsetFastLoad interface.
For more information about using the OLE DB Driver for SQL Server for bulk copy operations, see Performing Bulk Copy Operations.
For a sample showing how to use the IBCPSession interface, see IBCPSession::BCPDone (OLE DB).
