Question

I have recently created a disk catalog program for myself, it is working fine. The problem is, when i try to index my 2 TB HDD, the time taken to write 66K rows into sql table is taking a lot of time nearing 30min.

I am using sql client (sdf is the file extension).

Also, i am using two threads to insert data simultaneous saving 50% of time.

I am using vb generated table adapters only.

Your guidance would be appreciated.

Thank you.

I don’t think that adding threads is the answer because the processor has to do the same amount of work. Take a look at using a bulk insert: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188365.aspx
