>is that when reading a file and for some reason the application is improperly closed, the file that was being read is left locked but it is undamaged....just a cautionary note. This happens to me with SQL Server as well. If you have to use task manager to close EM, the database files end up locked but undamaged. Can't copy them to another drive (backup) but can use them at will. I understand that Windows has some utility that will clear those locks, which I'd dearly love to get my hands on. John W.

I just tested it on a 70GB file and it had no problems. One issue that I have found, is that when reading a file and for some reason the application is impropertly closed, the file that was being read is left locked but it is undamaged....just a cautionary note.

I should hope it is, we were only talking about editing the 660 lines in the BCP format file, not doing a find a replace on the data files. :-) -- Stuart _______________________________________________ dba-SQLServer mailing list dba-SQLServer at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-sqlserver http://www.databaseadvisors.com _______________________________________________ dba-SQLServer mailing list dba-SQLServer at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-sqlserver http://www.databaseadvisors.com
