Question

I have 2 data transfer sql statements being run and sent to the same table.

SqlBuldCopy1 returns column NAME||AGE||CAT

SqlBuldCopy2 returns column NAME||AGE

Is it possible to set up a default value of “ALL” to column CAT in SqlBulkCopy2?

DataReader dr = command.ExcecuteReader();
SqlBulkCopy myCopy = new SqlBulkCopy(SQLconnection);
myCopy.DestinationTableName = "Customer";    
myCopy.BulkCopyTimeout = 0;
myCopy.BatchSize = 5000;
myCopy.WriteToServer(dr);

Answer 1

In the code you are specifying to be executed in your command.ExecuteReader, you can modify the query such that “ALL” is defined as the CAT column.

Sort of:

SELECT Name, Age, 'ALL' as CAT
FROM TableName
