How to do a Bulk Insert — Linq to Entities

Question

I cannot find any examples on how to do a Bulk/batch insert using Linq to Entities. Do you guys know how to do a Bulk Insert?

Answer 1

I wrote a class that will bulk insert EF entities (or any kind of object as long as the property names match the column names).

The class supports customizing the batch size, pre & post insert events, queued inserts, and "firehose mode" (give it a billion objects, it will respect the batch size).
