I just tried to bulk insert data which results to system.out.memory exception was thrown Even though the Ram as 260 GB and SQL Standard Edition 2017. Records was around 1 million , please give me any solution with my below code



 DataTable table = new DataTable();
// read the table structure from the database
SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter("select * from xxxxx", constr);
adapter.SelectCommand.CommandTimeout = 0;
adapter.Fill(table);
Console.WriteLine();
Console.WriteLine(table.Rows.Count);
Console.WriteLine(" Table End time..");
Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now);
Console.WriteLine("end----)";
Console.WriteLine();
SqlBulkCopy bulk = new SqlBulkCopy(constr2);
bulk.DestinationTableName = "xxxxxx";
bulk.WriteToServer(table);
Console.WriteLine()

  • The title says that a timeout occurred and the question says that memory was exhausted. Maybe you should edit your question so that it doesn't contradict itself.

  • So, when you did some proper testing and started of fetching a small number of records and gradually increased that number until it failed, what was the largest number of records you could successfully retrieve?

  • The best way is to do it all through the database with database links. If not, your option would be to do it in batch of say 100,000 records.

  • There's no need to buffer all the rows in client memory like you're doing. Instead open a DataReader on the source query and pass that to SqlBulkCopy. SqlBulkCopy.WriteToServer(DbDataReader) docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/….

  • The maximum rows I can fetch us around 585922 anything more than that results memory exception
