Bulk loading data

Hi,
I want to insert massive amounts of data in near real-time into a MySQL database. The data is in a structured binary format, and I have code that parses the data into logical data structures.

Right now I can load into a MySQL database via ODBC, but I need to improve throughput. How can I bulk insert the data more efficiently?

I would prefer not to use LOAD FILE because it involves converting the binary format to text, which will have a much larger footprint. To illustrate the pain of text files in my application, a single binary file might contain up to a million rows! And I might load hundreds, if not thousands of these files in a day!

How can I load data directly into the database at a lower more direct level than LOAD FILE? What are my options to integrate my data parser with MySQL?

thanks,
casey

Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone has experience with bulk loading data into an Oracle database with DBI. My options are to use DBI or Oracle's sqlloader. I'd rather do it using DBI, but I'm not sure what kind of perfomance hit I'll incur. I need to load 2 tables on a daily basis (~50MB). Any comments?

I've been doing some experiments with speeding up copying tables of approximately 1 million rows between databases using BCP and BULK INSERT. I noticed that the total time for removing the indexes (non-clustered) and then recreating them after the BULK INSERT was significantly less than just doing the BULK INSERT with the indexes left there, even though I specified TABLOCK. I would have expected SQL Server not to update the index until...

We have created CSV files on HPUX 11.0 and transferred them via ASCII ftp to our SQL Server machine file store to load large amounts for data using the BULK INSERT command. This is the command: BULK INSERT db..table FROM 'S:\path\filename.csv' WITH ( DATAFILETYPE = 'char', FIELDTERMINATOR = ',', ROWTERMINATOR = '\n' )

Right now I develop an application to retrieve over 30,000 records from a binary file and then load them into a SQL Server DB. So far I load those records one by one, but the performance is very poor: it takes more than 6 hours to finish the loading. So could I make use of the bulk-insert mechanism of SQL Server to reduce the loading time in C# codes? or other performance improvement solutions?

Hi folks: We have a system requirement where a large amount of data needs to be transferred between two systems. The main system is a DB2 8.x running on a pSeries (AIX) and the archive database resides on an iSeries (AS/400). At the end of the day, we would like to transfer the daily processed data from the pSeries to the iSeries. Since the amount of data to be transferred is large (in excess of 200,00 records), we would like a

Hello, I have a db2load script I'm using to populate a large table. Ideally, my target table is required to have "Not Null" constraints on a number of different columns. I've noticed a huge performance hit when I load the target table with "Not Null" constraints as compared to loading a target table without the constraints.

I have written a stored procedure that is used to load data into a SQL Server 2000 and 2005 databases from some 40ish different text files.

The command I am using to load the data is as follows: BULK INSERT BasicDataT FROM 'E:\Temp\Food GNRLv3\BasicData.txt' WITH ( FORMATFILE =...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
