I ran an identical bulk insert query in Query Analyzer and got the correct
number of rows import, 1520. However, with code, I always get 3040 for some
reason. Do you have any ideas why I am getting double the rows affected on
bulk inserts? This has happened on a dev box and our live boxes(we are
currently halving num rows affected in order to get accurate results from
the function, but now I am trying again because I don't like that band-aid
approach :) )
Thanks!

Query Analyzer:
BULK INSERT residential FROM
'\\workskibbs\c$\databases\arizona\residentialExpo rt.txt' WITH
(FIELDTERMINATOR = '|', ROWTERMINATOR='\n')
C# Code Chunk:
private int importData( string tableName )
{
string query = "BULK INSERT " + tableName + " FROM '" + OutputDirectory +
tableName + ".txt' WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR = '|', ROWTERMINATOR='\n')";
SqlConnection connection;
connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand( query, connection );
try
{
connection.Open();
command.CommandTimeout = 6000;
int count = command.ExecuteNonQuery();
Console.WriteLine( "Imported " + count.ToString() + " rows into the " +
tableName + " table..." );
return count;
}
catch( Exception yy )
{
new ErrorLog( yy.ToString() );
return -1;
}
finally
{
if( connection != null )
if( connection.State == ConnectionState.Open )
connection.Close();
connection.Dispose();
if( command != null )
command.Dispose();
}
}

Do you have any triggers? One way would be to try using the SQL Query
analyser and see what's going on. I believe you can do a SELECT
@@ROWCOUNT after your query.

int count = command.ExecuteNonQuery();
return ( ( count == -1 ) ? count : ((int)count / 2) );
Then why do I always have to halve the number of rows affected in order
to get an accurate result? Am I going about this wrong in some way? I
consistently get results that are double what my actual database tables
reflect, in both delete and bulk insert queries.
Thanks

queries. In SELECT statements, well, just count how many rows you get :).
