NAME
     datacopy -- move table data between two servers

SYNOPSIS
     datacopy [-vdE] {-t | -a | -c owner} [-b batchsize] [-p packetsize]
	      [-S server/username/password/database/table_or_view]
	      [-D server/username/password/database/table] [-T textsize]

DESCRIPTION
     datacopy  is  a utility distributed with FreeTDS.	datacopy will move table
     data from one server to another without the need  for  intermediate  files.
     datacopy is much faster and more efficient than is freebcp out/in.

     datacopy  makes  use  of the db-lib bcp API built into FreeTDS. This API is
     also available to application developers.

     datacopy can be used to migrate data between Sybase ASE and SQL  Server  or
     vice versa.

OPTIONS
     -t      Truncate target table before loading data.

     -a      Append data to target table.

     -c owner
	     Create  the  target table with the same schema as the source table.
	     datacopy will submit a `CREATE TABLE' command on the target  server
	     using  the  specified  owner  in  the  command, e.g.  `CREATE TABLE
	     owner.table (...).'

     -b batchsize
	     The number of rows per batch of data copied.  Each batch of data is
	     effectively 'committed' to the database. The default is 1000.

     -p packetsize
	     The number of bytes, per network  packet,	sent  to  and  from  the
	     servers. Increased packet size can enhance performance.

     -T textsize
	     Specify size of TEXT/IMAGE column from network.

     -v      Produce verbose output, including diagnostic timings.

     -d      Produce freetds TDSDUMP output. (Serious debug only!)

     -S server/username/password/database/table_or_view
	     The  connection  information  for	the  source server and the loca-
	     tion/name of the table (or view) to be copied.  If  not  specified,
	     datacopy prompts the user for the information.

     -D server/username/password/database/table
	     The connection information for the destination server and the loca-
	     tion/name	of the target table.  If not specified, datacopy prompts
	     the user for the information.

     -E      Keep identity values.
