# SqlServerBulkCopyTool
:bullettrain_side: Command line tool, to bulk copy data between a source an destination SQL server.
When you need to move data between 2 SQL server instances you can do this with [SqlBulkCopy](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.data.sqlclient.sqlbulkcopy). These tool eliminates the coding and allows for passing in the arguments to copy the data between the 2 servers.
You can download the single exe from the [release page](https://github.com/pregress/SqlServerBulkCopyTool/releases)

| source-connectionstring | The connection string of the source database. | yes | |
| source-query | The tSQL query to retrieve data from the source database. | yes | |
| destination-connectionstring | The connection string of the destination database. | yes | |
| destination-tablename | The name of the table in the destination database where the data is inserted. | yes | |
| bulk-insert-timeout | A timeout in seconds to execute the bulk insert. | no | 60 |

```
SqlServerBulkCopyTool.exe --source-connectionstring "Server=localhost;Database=TestDb;Integrated Security=SSPI;" --source-query "SELECT * FROM MySourceTable" --destination-connectionstring "Server=tcp:remote.sample-server.com,1433;Database=TestDb;Integrated Security=SSPI;" --destination-tablename "MyDestinationTable" --bulk-copy-options TableLock,CheckConstraints
