.NET assembly for BULK INSERT

Hi,

Is there any .NET package/module/assembly for BCPing the data into SQL
Server.
The BULK INSERT utility works fine, but we are kind of worried on
placing the data.

If there is any utility to build the data into a data structure and BCP
in into the SQL Server, please let know. It would be of great use.

Let know if I should post this elsewhere

Regards,
Thyagu

SqlClient has classes for bulk-copying. I have not used it, but a quick
look in MSDN Library telles me that you write from a datarow.

To add to Erland's response, the SqlBulkCopy class was introduced with .Net
Framework 2.0 (VS 2005 et. al.). SqlBulkCopy includes a WriteToServer
method that allows you to pass a DataTable, DataRow array or IDataReader.
The ColumnMappings property specifies the mappings between source and
destination columns.

Hope this helps.

Hello, I am trying to load a simple tab-delimited data file to SQL Server. I created a format file to go with it, since the data file differs from the destination table in number of columns. When I execute the query, I get an error saying that only sysadmin or bulkadmin roles are allowed to use the BULK INSERT statement. So, I proceeded with the Enterprise Manager to grant myself those roles. However, I could not find sysadmin or...

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?

We have sp's in place that do BULK INSERTS from txt files into the tables. This works fine, however they have asked us to add a field that identifies accounting ctr. The only thing that identifies accounting ctr is the last three letters of the text file being used for the BULK INSERT. How would you suggest that I do this? Is there a way to add a default value to the .fmt or schema files for the text fields, or in the BULK INSERT...
