Article on using SqlBulkCopy with POCOs

Share on:

I realised that I never pushed this on my blog at all, so belatedly I will.

Last year I wrote an article for Developer Fusion that discussed how you could make use of SqlBulkCopy to do high performance inserts when you were working with POCOs, rather than inserting them entity by entity using an ORM.

The bottom line was that inserting 10,000 records took only 57ms using the generic SqlBulkCopy approach I describe, rather than 2159ms to insert them on a record-by-record basis.
