Thanks. I'm actually using the "SqlBulkCopy" class (assuming you're familiar
with .NET) and this presumably wraps BULK INSERT (still researching things).
I also took a quick look at ROWS_PER_BATCH and this may prove useful (thanks
for pointing this out). If possible however, I'd like to insert all data in

Hi
As Andrew said to separate LOG and DATA files must be e first step
Have you considered using SSIS Package to insert the data from the files ,
it hs very nice feature named 'fast load'

Precisely why you should never code using the original ansi 89 style and use
infix instead...
Never code like this...
FROM {tbl} as a, {tbl} as b
WHERE a.tblkey = b.tblkey
AND a.postertype = 'opinionated'
AND a.postername = '--celko--'
Instead you should write like the majority of other folk do....

Wrong - the standards a small subset of the product language available
within MICROSOFT SQL SERVER.
Wrong again - we've already been through this one; there are very few items
of syntax that have been deprecated - legacy code written on SQL Server 6.5
still works on SQL Server 2008 - that allows business to migrate versions of

You narrow your solutions by writing in dialect; you increase their
scope, maintainability and robustness by sticking to Standards.
Having something that runs in only one release of one version of one
SQL is not a good thing.
But strong dialect code gives you job security. Even better, write
your code in an unsupported version that only you know.

Re: Join query returns to many rows

There are two forms of the SELECT [ALL | DISTINCT]; the SELECT ALL
keeps duplicate rows and the SELECT DISTINCT removes redundant
duplicate rows, leaving one copy. SELECT by itself is a shorthand for
SELECT ALL. You will find these keywords used in other parts of SQL
for this sort of thing.
As a generalization, a SELECT DISTINCT is a symptom of a bad query

Well how much something like this will affect the performance of the server
depends on many factors and is difficult to say without knowing much more
about it. But assuming you have properly configured hardware and place the
log files on their own Raid 1 or raid 10 it should not be a real problem.

I asssumed you were talking about binary or text files.
You seem to talk about BCP/BULK INSERT type of load. Look at these commands
in details.
Check ROWS_PER_BATCH value; it might help you.

I will guess that you are getting stuck on the temporal aspect of the
model.
Since Computers and users are entities, you will need a table for each
of them. Computer Sessions will reference a user, a computer and a
start-end time pair for usage. UserGroups are a relationship among
users, so that table will have a group id, reference to the users and

Yes, A user can be assigned to one or more computers but a computer can be
assigned to one user at a time. No relationship between a group and a
computer as I know but you can suggest me one if possible.
Here is more.
We open an account with a computer supplier to each of our groups{fiction
writers, technology writer etc}. The supplier assigns a number to each group.

To expand on this, when you need a quote in a string it has to be escaped
with another single quote.

Can the user use multiple computers when he is tagged to one specific group?
Any relation between group and computer?

Hi All,
We've written a number of (I think!) handy tools over the past few
