Uday writes "Hi,

I am using BCP command for import and export of data from one db to another.

Environment used

SQL server: 7 for exporting , 2000 for importing

os:Win2k(for both db's but different servers)

db one SQL sever 7 and One sql server 2000

Table structure is same for both DB's.

Here in above environment the BCP out command works fine with SQL server 7 db and exports the data from a table having a column with timestamp datattype to a text file.

But the same exported file when used for BCP in with SQL server 2000 db then the command fails and gives error.

Following Error occurs,

Starting copy...
SQLState = 22001, NativeError = 0
Error = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]String data, right truncation

BCP copy in failed

Can u help me all on this to find the workaround on the same.

Thanks in advance.

Uday"

Create a view on the source and destination tables omitting the timestamp column and use the views for the bcp's.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
