Monitoring bcp sessions with dbcc checktable and sp_helpsegment  Using parallel bulk copy to copy data into a specific partition

Chapter 4: Using bcp to Transfer Data to and from Adaptive Server

Reducing logging by increasing page allocations

If you are using fast bcp, consider that each bcp in batch requires the page manager to allocate one or more extents. Each such allocation generates a single log record.

Use the number of preallocated extents configuration parameter to specify how many extents Adaptive Server is to allocate through the page manager.

Adaptive Server may allocate more pages than are actually needed, so keep the value small when space is limited. These pages are deallocated at the end of the batch.

For more information, see the System Administration Guide.
