sqlbulkcopy

Is it possible to use SqlBulkcopy with Sql Compact Edition e.g. (*.sdf) files? I know it works with SQL Server 200 Up, but wanted to check CE compatibility. If it doesnt does anyone else know the fastest way of getting a CSV type file into SQL Server CE without using DataSets (puke here)? BULKCOPY is not supported in SQL CE. Here is the fastest way if you have a huge number of rows in your table; insert is too slow! using (SqlCeConnection cn = new SqlCeConnection(yourConnectionString)) { if (cn.State == ConnectionState.Closed) cn.Open(); using (SqlCeCommand cmd = new SqlCeCommand()) { cmd

After reading this article I decided to take a closer look at the way I was using Dapper. I ran this code on an empty database var members = new List<Member>(); for (int i = 0; i < 50000; i++) { members.Add(new Member() { Username = i.toString(), IsActive = true }); } using (var scope = new TransactionScope()) { connection.Execute(@" insert Member(Username, IsActive) values(@Username, @IsActive)", members); scope.Complete(); } it took about 20 seconds. That's 2500 inserts/second. Not bad, but not great either considering the blog was achieving 45k inserts/second. Is there a more efficient way

I have a List<MyObject> with a million elements. (It is actually a SubSonic Collection but it is not loaded from the database). I'm currently using SqlBulkCopy as follows: private string FastInsertCollection(string tableName, DataTable tableData) { string sqlConn = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[SubSonicConfig.DefaultDataProvider.ConnectionStringName].ConnectionString; using (SqlBulkCopy s = new SqlBulkCopy(sqlConn, SqlBulkCopyOptions.TableLock)) { s.DestinationTableName = tableName; s.BatchSize = 5000; s.WriteToServer(tableData); s.BulkCopyTimeout = SprocTimeout; s.Close(); } return

I am using the SqlBulkCopy object to insert a couple million generated rows into a database. The only problem is that the table I am inserting to has an identity column. I have tried setting the SqlBulkCopyOptions to SqlBulkCopyOptions.KeepIdentity and setting the identity column to 0 's, DbNull.Value and null . None of which have worked. I feel like I am missing something pretty simple, if someone could enlighten me that would be fantastic. Thanks! edit To clarify, I do not have the identity values set in the DataTable I am importing. I want them to be generated as part of the import. edit 2
