Thanks. I am aware of this but was just speculating that "SqlBulkCopy" is
probably a wrapper for BULK INSERT or some other high-volume (native) SQL
Server statement (possibly internal to MSFT only). My original issue however
is whether running "SqlBulkCopy" (or BULK INSERT directly) will have an

BULK INSERT is a Transact-SQL statement whereas the SqlBulkCopy class (and
its unmanaged ODBC/OLEDB cousins) are native client APIs. Unlike BULK
INSERT, the client APIs allow you to load directly from program variables.

Thanks. Can you also briefly elaborate on my last response to him (just
posted). Appreciate your help.
Not familir with this but probably not necessary for my needs unless it
solves some problem specificically related to this issue (resource
exhaustion). The bulk insert I tested ("SqlBulkCopy" in .NET) is very fast

Thanks for you help and I agree. It's hard to appreciate when you're not
really familiar with the details. In this case however it's a fairly simple
situation. Assuming 10,000 customers in the short-term, 100,000 long term,
and each customer will be uploading a single file just once every few weeks

Thanks. I'm actually using the "SqlBulkCopy" class (assuming you're familiar
with .NET) and this presumably wraps BULK INSERT (still researching things).
I also took a quick look at ROWS_PER_BATCH and this may prove useful (thanks
for pointing this out). If possible however, I'd like to insert all data in

Hi
As Andrew said to separate LOG and DATA files must be e first step
Have you considered using SSIS Package to insert the data from the files ,
it hs very nice feature named 'fast load'

Precisely why you should never code using the original ansi 89 style and use
infix instead...
Never code like this...
FROM {tbl} as a, {tbl} as b
WHERE a.tblkey = b.tblkey
AND a.postertype = 'opinionated'
AND a.postername = '--celko--'
Instead you should write like the majority of other folk do....

Wrong - the standards a small subset of the product language available
within MICROSOFT SQL SERVER.
Wrong again - we've already been through this one; there are very few items
of syntax that have been deprecated - legacy code written on SQL Server 6.5
still works on SQL Server 2008 - that allows business to migrate versions of

You narrow your solutions by writing in dialect; you increase their
scope, maintainability and robustness by sticking to Standards.
Having something that runs in only one release of one version of one
SQL is not a good thing.
But strong dialect code gives you job security. Even better, write
your code in an unsupported version that only you know.

jcelko...@earthlink.net (--CELKO--) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 00:10:56 UT

There are two forms of the SELECT [ALL | DISTINCT]; the SELECT ALL
keeps duplicate rows and the SELECT DISTINCT removes redundant
duplicate rows, leaving one copy. SELECT by itself is a shorthand for
SELECT ALL. You will find these keywords used in other parts of SQL
for this sort of thing.
As a generalization, a SELECT DISTINCT is a symptom of a bad query

Well how much something like this will affect the performance of the server
depends on many factors and is difficult to say without knowing much more
about it. But assuming you have properly configured hardware and place the
log files on their own Raid 1 or raid 10 it should not be a real problem.

I asssumed you were talking about binary or text files.
You seem to talk about BCP/BULK INSERT type of load. Look at these commands
in details.
Check ROWS_PER_BATCH value; it might help you.
