BCP for SQL2005

Hi,
I know that BCP.EXE is part of the client tools for SQL2005. Does it also
come as part of a standalone like say SQLCMD.EXE as a standalone from the
feature Pack? We are looking to install the Native client and SQLCMD and BCP
without the other executables.
Thanks

I am not sure about the licencing issue with installing the Feature pack
version on it's own! AFAIK BCP.EXE is not available as a standalone install,
although there are example applications using the Bulk Copy API which you
could use to write your own application.

We have some non MS SQL servers that don't really need the full Client
Tools, just the Native Client, SQLCMD and BCP. I could find the first 2 and
had hoped that BCP might be available too but if not then we should just be
able to copy an SQL2005 BCP.EXE onto the server.
Thanks

You may want to try installing from SQL Express the tools only which will
not install Management studio or Profiler, but I don't know if BCP is
included.

I downloaded the SQLExpress and can see, using Winzip, that it has BCP
included as part. I do not have a machine to install this onto so can I just
pick Native client, SQLCMD and BCP from the downloaded package? I would like
to know if this is an option or not?
Thanks

I don't think there is a way of being that selective you would need to use
the ADDLOCAL and specify Connectivity and SQL_Tools90
