Question : Sybase - BCP - oracle.

I am extracting data from sybase using bcp tool ( building pipe delimited data file ) & there by loading into oracle database.

Issue: some fields are having newline characters and it is making the load in correct.

Is there a way to remove the newline character while pulling the data through BCP.....can anything be done at the format file....??

Answer : Sybase - BCP - oracle.

To answer OP's question:

You can't use a BCP format file to do any updates to the data. The format file specifies the format and says nothing about the content (other than its datatype).

You could however create a view on the underlying data that does some transformations, and the BCP out of the view.
