Bulk copy interface

Bulk-Library is an API that consists of Client-Library and Server-Library bulk copy routines. Some Bulk-Library routines are specific to either Client-Library or Server-Library, while others are common to both.

Bulk-Library routine names have the prefix “blk,” while CT-Library bulk copy routine names have the prefix “bcp”.

One significant difference between CT-Library bulk copy and Bulk-Library is that only CT-Library has built-in support for file I/O.

Both CT-Library bulk copy and Bulk-Library support encrypted columns if Adaptive Server supports encrypted columns.
