Synchronize with bulk insert – xSQL Data Compare

When comparing and synchronizing data between two SQL Server databases if you have many new rows on one database that need to be “copied” over to the other database, by default the sync script that xSQL Data Compare generates will contain one INSERT statement for every new row being copied. Now, that is fine when the number of those insert statements is not very big but when you have hundreds of thousands of INSERT statements the script becomes very hard to manage and the performance will suffer.

It is for that reason that we included the ability to synchronize with bulk insert – to do that the user simply checks the “synchronize with bulk insert” option and specifies a folder where the bulk insert files will be stored temporarily. The resulting sync script is easy to manage and will perform a lot better.
