If any database object has spaces or a dot included in its name, use, as for example: bcp. With Azure, the servername is always the full path to the domain. I have included -c for not prompting for each field data type and -t, for using a comma as separator (there is not space between -t and the comma).

Since the tool is handy and very fast, it's also good for running in a script (but you need to find a solution for storing the credentials.). Recently, I had the request to import local data to a SQL Azure database and BCP did the job. See a short description how to use the Microsoft Command Line Utilities with Azure SQL Database for connecting and importing and exporting data quickly. BCP, the bulk copy program utility is still around - and it's helpful! It's a long time, since I used this tool, but nowadays it got promoted for one of my daily jobs.
