I am trying to migrate data from an Informix database to SQL Server 2008. I’ve got quite a lot of data to move. I’ve been try multiple methods to get the data over, and so far SQLBulkCopy in multiple chunks seems to be the fastest that I can find. Does anyone know of a faster means of getting the data over? I’m trying to cut down on the transfer time so that on my cut-over date I don’t run out of time to do the full cut-over. Thanks.
As you mentioned, I think that the bcp command is the fastest solution.
you can make csv file from your data and then import those to your db by bcp command.
