OS/2

Summary:

SYMPTOMS

Rules and triggers are ignored when BCP'ing data into a database.

CAUSE

Rules and triggers are ignored by BCP when data is being load into

SQL Server. This is to ensure the data is loaded into the database

in the fast manner possible.

RESOLUTION

If it is necessary to have the rules and triggers enforced, one of

the following methods should be used:

1. Load the data into an intermediate table and then use INSERT

statements to load the original table.

2. Examine the data file before loading.

3. Write the application to load the data using INSERT statements.
