SQL Bulk Copy with C#.Net

Bulk copying of data from one data source to another data source is a new feature added to ADO.NET 2.0. Bulk copy classes provides the fastest way to transfer set of data from once source to the other.
Each ADO.NET data provider provides bulk copy classes. For example, in SQL .NET data provider, the bulk copy operation is handled by SqlBulkCopy class, which is described in Figure 1. As you can see from Figure 1, data from a data source can be copied to one of the four types - DataReader, DataSet, DataTable, or XML.




Figure 1. Bulk Copy operation in ADO.NET 2.0

Using bulk copy operation, you can transfer data between two tables on the same SQL Server, between two different SQL Servers, or even two different types of database servers.





using System.Data.SqlClient;

public static void CopyData(DataTable sourceTable, SqlConnection destConnection, SqlTransaction destTrans, string destTableName)
  {
          // new method: SQLBulkCopy:
          using (SqlBulkCopy s = new SqlBulkCopy(destConnection, SqlBulkCopyOptions.Default, destTrans))
            {
                s.DestinationTableName = destTableName;
                s.NotifyAfter = 40000;
                //s.SqlRowsCopied += new SqlRowsCopiedEventHandler(s_SqlRowsCopied);
                s.WriteToServer(sourceTable);
                s.Close();
            }
  }




Calling the above function

         SqlConnection destinationConnection= new SqlConnection(sourceConnectionString);
        
         destinationConnection.Open();
         destinationTransaction =              destinationConnection.BeginTransaction(IsolationLevel.ReadUncommitted);


         DataTable SourceDataTable= new  DataTable();

         CopyData(SourceDataTable, destinationConnection, destinationTransaction, "DestinationTableName");

         destinationTransaction.Commit();

         destinationConnection.Close();

Call User-defined Function on Linked Server :SQL Server

If you try to invoke a user-defined function (UDF) through a linked server in SQL Server by using a "four-part naming" convention (server.database.dbo.Function), you may receive error message.  The reason is User-defined function calls inside a four-part linked server query are not supported in SQL Server. Thats why error message indicates that the syntax of a Transact-SQL statement is incorrect.  To work around this problem, use the Openquery function instead of the four-part naming convention. For example, instead of the following query Select * from Linked_Server.database.dbo.Function(10) run a query with the Openquery function: Select * from Openquery(Linked_Server,'select database.dbo.Function(10)') If the user-defined function takes variable or scalar parameters, you can use the sp_executesql stored procedure to avoid this behavior.  For example: exec Linked_Server.database.dbo.sp_executesql N'SELECT database.dbo.Function(@input)',N'@input
