Hi,
I wanted to know is there any major difference between bcp engine 8 and 9. Because I am importing data from csv file with the same csv, format files and sql scripts but it looks like rows are not same in the imported tables. I am not sure if rows are dropped or not. but the total number of rows on 2 machines looks same. Though some rows and their values differs!!! Some table matches but in some tables the very first row does not match. Every time I execute the process, machines having bcp version 9 are having little different imported data than machines having bcp version 8.

Thanx in advance.

Yes I am using format files and there are null values in the csvs imports. I am not sure what u meant by 'consistent'.
