What are the advantages/disadvantages of SQL Server bulk insert?
advantages/disadvantages vs regular single row inserts while an app is processing data.
I think the basic purpose for bulk insert is to allow for keys/constraints to be suspended while a large amount of data is imported, which would be much quicker than a conventional record-by-record/programmatic INSERT..not sure there is a “disadvantage,” unless you try to use it in a scenario where it wasn’t really designed/intended.
