import large file SQL

I have SQL file with size 16GB, but can't import directly using SQL server management tools. So sqlcmd is the saviour!! simply just run the command with following format

sqlcmd -S ‘your server name’ -U ‘user name of server’ -P ‘password of server’ -d ‘db name’-i ‘script.sql’ -a 32767

in may case would be

sqlcmd -S ID0199-PC -d RSPIData -i ‘script.sql’ -a 32767

I am not set the U and P becauseI use the windoes auth

but another option using another strategy like this one, https://dba.stackexchange.com/a/54460 p.s: I am not tested that one btw
