如何使用Linq-to-SQL将一个表中的所有行插入到另一个表中？

Question

I have two tables in SQL Server.

Table one contains these columns:

1-id
2-name
3-family
4-address

and table two contains these columns:

1-id
2-name

In table one I have 100000 rows and read all record with this query:

var query = (from p in datacontext.table1
             select p).toArray();

I want insert all data from up query into the table2, now I use this method:

for(int i = 0; i < query.count(); i++) {
     table2 beh = new tabl2();
     beh.name = query[0].name;
     datacontext.table2.insertonsubmit(beh);
     datacontext.submitchange();
}

Is there another way? Thanks.

Answer 1

Making use of Linq to SQL to insert record one by one will take lot of time. Instead of that I Suggest make use of Bulk insert so that your data get insert in one go in less amount of time for that you can make use of of DataTable and OpenXML. for that tutorial is : Bulk Insertion of Data Using C# DataTable and SQL server OpenXML function

or use this

SqlBulkCopy.WriteToServer Method (DataTable)

Answer 2

Try

var bulkCopy = new SqlBulkCopy(connection);
bulkCopy.DestinationTableName = "table2";
bulkCopy.ColumnMappings.Add("Name", "Name");

using (var reader = new EntityDataReader<Table1>(query))
{
    bulkCopy.WriteToServer(reader);
}

EntityDataReader

Using Bulk insert in System.Data.SqlClient data get insert in to db in less amount of time using the help of datatable

 DataTable dt = getData();
 SqlBulkCopyOptions options = SqlBulkCopyOptions.Default;
                    using (SqlBulkCopy sqlBulkCopy = new SqlBulkCopy(sqlconnection, options, null))
                    {
                        dt.Columns.Add("Id", typeof(long)).SetOrdinal(0);
                        dt = AddDefaultColumn(dt);
                        sqlBulkCopy.BulkCopyTimeout = 300;
                        sqlBulkCopy.DestinationTableName = "tableName";
                        sqlBulkCopy.WriteToServer(dt);
                    }

Say your table name is table1 and table2 with the columns of id and description you can use

INSERT INTO table2  (id, description)
       SELECT table2.id, table2.description
       FROM table1;

furthermore you can add a where

INSERT INTO table2  (id, description)
           SELECT table2.id, table2.description
           FROM table1 where table1.id =1;
