function Copy-DbaDbTableData {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Copies data between SQL Server tables.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
        Copies data between SQL Server tables using SQL Bulk Copy.
        The same can be achieved also using Invoke-DbaQuery and Write-DbaDbTableData but it will buffer the contents of that table in memory of the machine running the commands.
        This function prevents that by streaming a copy of the data in the most speedy and least resource-intensive way.
 
    .PARAMETER SqlInstance
        Source SQL Server.You must have sysadmin access and server version must be SQL Server version 2000 or greater.
 
    .PARAMETER SqlCredential
        Login to the source instance using alternative credentials. Accepts PowerShell credentials (Get-Credential).
 
        Windows Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, Active Directory - Password, and Active Directory - Integrated are all supported.
 
        For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance.
 
    .PARAMETER Destination
        Destination Sql Server. You must have sysadmin access and server version must be SQL Server version 2000 or greater.
 
    .PARAMETER DestinationSqlCredential
        Login to the destination instance using alternative credentials. Accepts PowerShell credentials (Get-Credential).
 
        Windows Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, Active Directory - Password, and Active Directory - Integrated are all supported.
 
        For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance.
 
    .PARAMETER Database
        The database to copy the table from.
 
    .PARAMETER DestinationDatabase
        The database to copy the table to. If not specified, it is assumed to be the same of Database
 
    .PARAMETER Table
        Specify a table to use as a source. You can specify a 2 or 3 part name.
        If the object has special characters please wrap them in square brackets.
 
        Note: Cannot specify a view if a table value is provided
 
    .PARAMETER View
        Specify a view to use as a source. You can specify a 2 or 3 part name (see examples).
        If the object has special characters please wrap them in square brackets.
 
        Note: Cannot specify a table if a view value is provided
 
    .PARAMETER DestinationTable
        The table you want to use as destination. If not specified, it is assumed to be the same of Table
 
    .PARAMETER Query
        Define a query to use as a source. Note: 3 or 4 part object names may be used (see examples)
        Ensure to select all required columns.
        Calculated Columns or columns with default values may be excluded.
 
        Note: The workflow in the command requires that a valid -Table or -View parameter value be specified.
 
    .PARAMETER AutoCreateTable
        Creates the destination table if it does not already exist, based off of the "Export..." script of the source table.
 
    .PARAMETER BatchSize
        The BatchSize for the import defaults to 50000.
 
    .PARAMETER NotifyAfter
        Sets the option to show the notification after so many rows of import. The default is 5000 rows.
 
    .PARAMETER NoTableLock
        If this switch is enabled, a table lock (TABLOCK) will not be placed on the destination table. By default, this operation will lock the destination table while running.
 
    .PARAMETER CheckConstraints
        If this switch is enabled, the SqlBulkCopy option to process check constraints will be enabled.
 
        Per Microsoft "Check constraints while data is being inserted. By default, constraints are not checked."
 
    .PARAMETER FireTriggers
        If this switch is enabled, the SqlBulkCopy option to fire insert triggers will be enabled.
 
        Per Microsoft "When specified, cause the server to fire the insert triggers for the rows being inserted into the Database."
 
    .PARAMETER KeepIdentity
        If this switch is enabled, the SqlBulkCopy option to preserve source identity values will be enabled.
 
        Per Microsoft "Preserve source identity values. When not specified, identity values are assigned by the destination."
 
    .PARAMETER KeepNulls
        If this switch is enabled, the SqlBulkCopy option to preserve NULL values will be enabled.
 
        Per Microsoft "Preserve null values in the destination table regardless of the settings for default values. When not specified, null values are replaced by default values where applicable."
 
    .PARAMETER Truncate
        If this switch is enabled, the destination table will be truncated after prompting for confirmation.
 
    .PARAMETER BulkCopyTimeOut
        Value in seconds for the BulkCopy operations timeout. The default is 5000 seconds.
 
    .PARAMETER InputObject
        Enables piping of Table objects from Get-DbaDbTable
 
    .PARAMETER WhatIf
        If this switch is enabled, no actions are performed but informational messages will be displayed that explain what would happen if the command were to run.
 
    .PARAMETER Confirm
        If this switch is enabled, you will be prompted for confirmation before executing any operations that change state.
 
    .PARAMETER EnableException
        By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
        This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
        Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.

    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> Copy-DbaDbTableData -SqlInstance sql1 -Destination sql2 -Database dbatools_from -Table dbo.test_table
 
        Copies all the data from table dbo.test_table (2-part name) in database dbatools_from on sql1 to table test_table in database dbatools_from on sql2.
 
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> Copy-DbaDbTableData -SqlInstance sql1 -Destination sql2 -Database dbatools_from -DestinationDatabase dbatools_dest -Table [Schema].[test table]
