This is driving me mad…
SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer Edition installed.
Attempting to BCP to a file from the command line.
bcp MyDb..MyTable out MyTable.dat -T
Get the error:
CTLIB Message: – XX/XX/XX/XX/X/X:
ct_connect(): directory service layer: internal directory control
layer error: Requested server name not found.
Establishing connection failed.
Turns out Sybase is installed on these corporate desktops and gets path priority over SQL. When I ran BCP from the command line it was running Sybase BCP!
The answer to is specify the BCP path for SQL. Now it works fine.
