BCP import large text file to sql tables

hi,
I have a huge text file(about 10 GB) that needed to imported to SQL server2k
table.
I know BCP is the fastest way to do it. But if I use BPC, my log shipping to
a prod standby serve will not have BPC transactions.
What should I do to have fast importing process and log shipping synched as
well.
Thanks
How big is the entire db? If it is small compared to 10GB I would just
disable log shipping, import, index as appropriate then backup and restore
full db and restart log shipping. If the db size is very large compared to
10GB you will be better off letting log shipping do it's thing. If you bcp
with FULL recovery mode and use small batch sizes won't log shipping work
fine?

keeping log shipping online to avoid the 'downtime' required to completely
resync the database after the load. YMMV.
