Improve this answer. I have run bulk insert with your format file and did the job. The following command will use the bcp utility to create an xml format file, myFirstImport.
The format option always requires the -f option, and to create an XML format file, you must also specify the -x option. Skip to main content. This browser is no longer supported.

Note For information about this table and how to create it, see HumanResources. A row that cannot be copied by the bcp utility is ignored and is counted as one error.
If this option is not included, the default is The -m option also does not apply to converting the money or bigint data types. This option does not prompt for each field; it uses the native values. This option offers a higher performance alternative to the -w option, and is intended for transferring data from one instance of SQL Server to another using a data file.
It does not prompt for each field. Use this option when you are transferring data that contains ANSI extended characters and you want to take advantage of the performance of native mode. If you export and then import data to the same table schema by using bcp. The warning can be ignored. One way to resolve this warning is to use -n instead of -N. If this option is not used, the bcp command prompts for a password. If this option is used at the end of the command prompt without a password, bcp uses the default password NULL.
To mask your password, do not specify the -P option along with the -U option. Instead, after specifying bcp along with the -U option and other switches do not specify -P , press ENTER, and the command will prompt you for a password.
This method ensures that your password will be masked when it is entered. Use this option to specify a database, owner, table, or view name that contains a space or a single quotation mark. Enclose the entire three-part table or view name in quotation marks "". To specify a database name that contains a space or single quotation mark, you must use the -q option.
For more information, see Remarks , later in this topic. Use this parameter to override the default row terminator. If you specify the row terminator in hexadecimal notation in a bcp. For example, if you specify 0x, 0x41 will be used. By default, regional settings are ignored. If no server is specified, the bcp utility connects to the default instance of SQL Server on the local computer.
This option is required when a bcp command is run from a remote computer on the network or a local named instance. Use this parameter to override the default field terminator. If you specify the field terminator in hexadecimal notation in a bcp. If -T is not specified, you need to specify -U and -P to successfully log in.
When the bcp utility is connecting to SQL Server with a trusted connection using integrated security, use the -T option trusted connection instead of the user name and password combination. Use the -U and -P options. This option does not prompt for each field; it uses the default values.
For example, to generate data for types not supported by SQL Server 8. The -x does not work when importing or exporting data. The bcp If tools are installed for multiple versions of SQL Server, depending on the order of values of the PATH environment variable, you might be using the earlier bcp client instead of the bcp This environment variable defines the set of directories used by Windows to search for executable files.
To make sure the newest version of the bcp utility is running you need to remove any older versions of the bcp utility. For information about where to find or how to run the bcp utility and about the command prompt utilities syntax conventions, see Command Prompt Utility Reference Database Engine.
For information about when row-insert operations that are performed by bulk import are logged in the transaction log, see Prerequisites for Minimal Logging in Bulk Import. Using additional special characters. If you use quotation marks to enclose a string that contains one of the special characters, the quotation marks are set as part of the environment variable value.
Values in the data file being imported for computed or timestamp columns are ignored, and SQL Server automatically assigns values. If the data file does not contain values for the computed or timestamp columns in the table, use a format file to specify that the computed or timestamp columns in the table should be skipped when importing data; SQL Server automatically assigns values for the column.
Computed and timestamp columns are bulk copied from SQL Server to a data file as usual. SQL Server identifiers can include characters such as embedded spaces and quotation marks. Such identifiers must be treated as follows:. When you specify an identifier or file name that includes a space or quotation mark at the command prompt, enclose the identifier in quotation marks "".
For example, the following bcp out command creates a data file named Currency Types. To specify a database name that contains a space or quotation mark, you must use the -q option. For example, bcp now verifies that:. Forms of invalid data that could be bulk imported in earlier versions of SQL Server might fail to load now; whereas, in earlier versions, the failure did not occur until a client tried to access the invalid data.
The added validation minimizes surprises when querying the data after bulkload.
