Re: Can anyone explain me the concept of native BCP?

BCP "native mode" exports data in binary form, which is generally more compact than the "character mode" which translates each data value into human-readable form.

 

Native mode output is best used only on the same platform (OS + hardware architecture) as the native binary encoding of values can differ based on the platform.  The most obvious example being the difference between big-endian and little-endian hardware architectures.
, where you have the difference of an integer value of 1 being stored as either 0x00000001 or 0x01000000.
