HRESULT GetServerBCPKeepNulls(LPBOOL pRetVal);

HRESULT SetServerBCPKeepNulls(BOOL NewValue);

Remarks

When TRUE, NULL is inserted when missing values are encountered in the data file. The default constraint does not supply a value for the column.

When FALSE, the default constraint provides a value for any missing values encountered in the data file. FALSE is the default value.

The ServerBCPKeepNulls property is interpreted only when importing data and when the UseServerSideBCP property of the BulkCopy object is TRUE.
