Curious if this is possible: The app server and db server live in different places (obviously). The app server currently generates a file for use with sql server bulk insert.

This requires both the DB and the app server to be able to see the location, and it makes configuration more difficult in different environments.

What I’d like to know is: is it possible to bypass the file system in this case? Perhaps I can pass the data to sql server and have it generate the file?

I’m on sql server 2008, if that makes a difference.

thanks!

    I don’t think you can do that with SQL Server’s bulkcp tool, but if your app is written using .NET, you can use the System.Data.SqlClient.SqlBulkCopy class to bulk insert rows from a data table (or any datasource you can access with a SqlDataReader).
