Because there is no 'datareader' involved, what is the most efficient
way to get an XML based dataset to be added to an SQL server dataset? I
would hate to have to create a new SQL connection and iterate through
making "executenonquery" for each row in the dataset. That seems
horribly in-efficient. I know of no other way to get an xml based
dataset to push data to the database though. Any pointers?

Thanks for any pointers,

Use a DataAdapter and do an Update. Just make sure all the rows youi want
added are marked as being in Add state.

Excuse my ADO.NET naivite (newbie alert*) but how do I iterate the
existing ds and set all of the rows to ADD?

For example:

DataSet ds = new DataSet("MyRecords");
ds.ReadXml(xmlfilename);

And the seperate SQL creations would be similar to this:

using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Data;

string strDBConnection = "server=(local);database=DatabaseName;user
id=UserName;password=Pwd;connection reset=false;connection
lifetime=5;Trusted_Connection=Yes;"
SqlConnection dbConnection;
dbConnection = new SqlConnection(strDBConnection);

string strSelectSql = "Select * from
[DatabaseName].[OwnerName].[TableName] order by FieldName";

//Open the connection
dbConnection.Open();

//Create a command
SqlCommand selectSqlCommand = new
SqlCommand(strSelectSql,dbConnection);
SqlDataAdapter sqlData = new SqlDataAdapter(selectSqlCommand);
DataSet dsSelectData = new DataSet();
sqlData.Fill(dsSelectData);

How do I get the ds into the sqlData adapter set to ADD each row?

Thanks again. You basically stated the same thing. My naive self just
needed a little extra push on the particulars. Thanks.
