BUG #: 16956 (NT: 6.50)

This is true even for the SA or DBO of the database; that is, the SA or DBO cannot load a table into a table that a user owns. The LOAD TABLE statement fails with the following error message:
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do either of the following:
- If you are the DBO or SA, use the SETUSER statement to impersonate the table owner and then execute the LOAD TABLE statement.
-or-
- Create a new table, load the data into this table, and then use INSERT SELECT to copy the data into the target table.
