Rob Vieira's book states that DTS can do "most anything" that the BCP
program can do.

What I'm wondering is:

Is there anything that you can do with BCP that you can't do with DTS?

Data can also be transferred into a SQL Server table from a data file using
the BULK INSERT statement. However, the BULK INSERT statement cannot bulk
copy data from an instance of SQL Server to a data file. The BULK INSERT
statement allows you to bulk copy data to an instance of SQL Server using
the functionality of the bcp utility with a Transact-SQL statement, rather
than from the command prompt.

It is also possible to write programs to bulk copy SQL Server data to or
from a data file using the bulk copy API. The bulk copy API can be used in
ODBC, OLE DB, SQL-DMO, and DB-Library-based applications."Stephen Wood"
