table-valued-parameters

I have a stored procedure in SQL Server 2008 called 'GetPrices' with a Table-Valued Parameter called 'StoreIDs'. This is the type i created for this TVP: CREATE TYPE integer_list_tbltype AS TABLE (n int) I would like to call the SP from my Entity Framework. But when I try to add the Stored Procedure to the EDM, i get the following error: The function 'GetPrices' has a parameter 'StoreIDs' at parameter index 2 that has a data type 'table type' which is not supported. The function was excluded. Is there any workaround this? Any thoughts? Fabio Since you can't use a table parameter, try passing

I want to pass a collection of ids to a stored procedure that will be mapped using NHibernate. This technique was introduced in Sql Server 2008 ( more info here => Table-Valued Parameters ). I just don't want to pass multiple ids within an nvarchar parameter and then chop its value on the SQL Server side. Pawel Kupis My first, ad hoc, idea was to implement my own IType . public class Sql2008Structured : IType { private static readonly SqlType[] x = new[] { new SqlType(DbType.Object) }; public SqlType[] SqlTypes(NHibernate.Engine.IMapping mapping) { return x; } public bool IsCollectionType {

I'm about to have to rewrite some rather old code using SQL Server's BULK INSERT command because the schema has changed, and it occurred to me that maybe I should think about switching to a stored procedure with a TVP instead, but I'm wondering what effect it might have on performance. Some background information that might help explain why I'm asking this question: The data actually comes in via a web service. The web service writes a text file to a shared folder on the database server which in turn performs a BULK INSERT . This process was originally implemented on SQL Server 2000, and at

I have a file (which has 10 million records) like below: line1 line2 line3 line4 ....... ...... 10 million lines So basically I want to insert 10 million records into the database. so I read the file and upload it to SQL Server. C# code System.IO.StreamReader file = new System.IO.StreamReader(@"c:\test.txt"); while((line = file.ReadLine()) != null) { // insertion code goes here //DAL.ExecuteSql("insert into table1 values("+line+")"); } file.Close(); but insertion will take a long time. How can I insert 10 million records in the shortest time possible using C#? Update 1: Bulk INSERT: BULK

I'm trying to call a stored procedure that accepts a table value parameter. I know that this isn't directly supported in Entity Framework yet but from what I understand you can do it using the ExecuteStoreQuery command off of the ObjectContext . I have a generic entity framework repository where I have the following ExecuteStoredProcedure method: public IEnumerable<T> ExecuteStoredProcedure<T>(string procedureName, params object[] parameters) { StringBuilder command = new StringBuilder(); command.Append("EXEC "); command.Append(procedureName); command.Append(" "); // Add a placeholder for each
