SQL Server 2012 Mass Insert
The SQL Server 2012 Mass Insert connector provides a rapid way of inserting records into a SQL Server 2012 database. It bypasses the transactional layer of the SQL Server database and adds information directly to the storage tables. This connector is a useful option if you are dealing with large tables and performance is of paramount importance.
Connector-Specific Notes
The SQL Server 2012 Mass Insert connector does not transform to updateable views, only to tables.
The Update Mode is not an available option for this connector, since it is a mass insert application.
Process Limitation: This connector cannot be used in a multithreaded process. The mass insert feature causes problems when more than one thread runs parallel in a process. Use the single-thread process instead. Important: Your process can include multiple transformations running in parallel to different tables.
Connector Parts
Connector parts are the fields you configure to connect with a data source or target.
The settings that are available depend on the connector you select.
For a list of all parts for target connectors, see Specifying Connector, Parts, and Properties.
Property Options
The following properties are supported:
Property
Use
CommitFrequency
Allows you to control how often data is committed to the database when the AutoCommit property is set to False.
The default value is zero that is, the data is committed at the end of the transformation, allowing rollback on error. This is the slowest setting. When performing large transformations, this is not practical as it may produce too many transaction log entries.
Specifying a nonzero value indicates that data is committed to the database after inserting or updating specified number of records.
ConstraintDDL
This is a pass-through mechanism that allows you to specify any additional data definition language (DDL) statements that need to be executed when a new table is created. DDL is used to define keys, indexes, constraints and integrity rules for SQL databases. There is no default.
Encoding
Type of encoding to use with source and target files. Default is OEM. For choices, see Source and Target Map Connectors.
Notes:
Shift-JIS encoding is meaningful only in Japanese operating systems.
The Encoding property is not the encoding of the database that you connect to, but rather the encoding in which the connector expects to receive SQL query statements to be sent to the database.
IdentityInsert
Determines if the integration platform automatically inserts Identity fields into your database. The default is false. If you want to allow Identity fields, you must change this property to true.
SystemTables
If set to true, this property allows you to see all tables created by the DBA in the database. The system table names appear in the table list. Default is false.
Supported Data Types
ID field types are not supported.
