Question

I am trying to copy a large datatable (columns with more than 1000 rows) created dynamically in the applicaiton to a MySQL table using c#, WPF.
I have searched for various ways to do this but was unsuccessful to implement. I think the MySqlDataAdapter class is something I should use but I cant make it work. This is what I tried to do…

        MySqlConnection con = new MySqlConnection(MyConString);
        MySqlCommand comm = new MySqlCommand("Select * From kinectdata", con);
        MySqlDataAdapter test1 = new MySqlDataAdapter(comm);
        test1.Update(skelData);

Speed of this transfer is also important so I prefered not to call an insert or update statement 1000 times.

Many thanks for your feedback!

You can build a single INSERT statement which inserts all 1000 rows.

INSERT INTO table VALUES (1,2,3), (4,5,6), (7,8,9);
