What's Bulk Operations?

Bulk Operations is a library that allows to overcomes SqlBulkCopy limitations by adding high-performance bulk operations to insert, update, delete and merge.

Scalable

SQL Server - Benchmarks

Delete 45 ms 70 ms 625 ms 6,800 ms
Merge 65 ms 160 ms 1,200 ms 12,000 ms

As fast as SqlBulkCopy for insert but with way more capabilities

Insert - Output Identity Value

Problem

You need to output the newly generated identity value, but SqlBulkCopy does not support it.

Solution

Map your identity column with output direction.

var bulk = new BulkOperation(connection);

bulk.ColumnMappings.Add("CustomerID", ColumnMappingDirectionType.Output);
// ... mappings ...

bulk.BulkInsert(dt);
Flexibility

You can also output concurrency column (Timestamp) or any other column values. All kinds of mapping directions are supported, including "Formula" to use with a SQL Formula.

Entity DataSource / Lambda Mapping

Problem

You have a list of entities to insert, but SqlBulkCopy doesn't support entity and lambda expression mapping.

Solution

Create generic bulk operations with your entity type and use lambda expression for your column input, output, and primary key mapping.

var bulk = new BulkOperation<Customer>(connection);

bulk.ColumnInputExpression = c => new { c.Name,  c.FirstName };
bulk.ColumnOutputExpression = c => c.CustomerID;
bulk.ColumnPrimaryKeyExpression = c => c.Code;

bulk.BulkMerge(customers);
Maintainability

Get rid of hardcoded string and use strongly-typed lambda expressions.

AutoMapping & Case Sensitivity

Problem

You have a DataTable which columns name match name in the database, but SqlBulkCopy throws an error because name matches are case insensitive.

Solution

Turn off case sensitivity with IsCaseSensitive property.

var bulk = new BulkOperation(connection);

bulk.IsCaseSensitive = false;

bulk.BulkMerge(dt);
Readability

Remove useless code that would have required you to create your own mapping and keep the essentials.
