# Bulk Copying with the SQL Server ODBC Driver How-to Topics (ODBC)
[!INCLUDE[appliesto-ss-asdb-asdw-pdw-md](../../../includes/appliesto-ss-asdb-asdw-pdw-md.md)]

  When used with Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2005, the SQL Server ODBC driver supports the same bulk copy functions supported by the DB-Library API.  
  
 For information about a breaking change in bulk copying beginning in [!INCLUDE[ssVersion2005](../../../includes/ssversion2005-md.md)], see [Performing Bulk Copy Operations (ODBC)](../../../relational-databases/native-client-odbc-bulk-copy-operations/performing-bulk-copy-operations-odbc.md).
