BULK INSERTis a Transact-SQL statement.bcp.exe uses BULK INSERT to do its job. It’s the same relation that the one between sqlcmd.exe (a tool) and SELECT (a statement).
There is no ‘switch’ to export all tables in a database. There is however an export and import wizard which is based on SSIS, not on bcp.
