SQL Server, the best way import 1M records every second?

Question

What is the best way to import 1M records into SQL Server every second?

Namely, I have a large data feed which need to be saved into database. One row has about 75 columns, so it's a really large amount of data.

Answer 1

See Henk's article SQL2008 R2 DCE on a 96 core Unisys ES7000 server with DSI Solid State storage: Bulk Inserting 1 Terabyte within 10 minutes . He gives a really good explanation of how they achieved this.

Answer 2

如果能够实现将取决于几个因素，但是将数据导入sql服务器的最快方法是批量插入（http://msdn.microsoft.com/zh-cn/library/ms188365.aspx）和SSIS包

Answer 3

Throw the feeds into files, then let SQL import them at its leisure.

Unless SQL needs them in real time? In that case you are probably looking at a database residing in some kind of ram disc.
