how can i send a lot of data to a database using stored procedure?

I need to send a lot of data from the server(using c#) to the database at once, for example all the data are in a 'csv' format and i need to pass it once to the database.. the database functionality is implemented in the database,I mean i'm using the stored procedure way(T-SQL)开发者_如何学运维...

I tried to use the 'bulk insert' way and it works... but unfortunately it only works with a file... I don't need to use a file, i need to pass it in another way, like a string or anyway but not file...

how i can do that ??

You can also do using Table-Valued Parameters. Please find more details at below mentioned link.

Hope it will help for you.

You have the following options

1. SQL Export Import Wizard

2. using bcp utility programmatically http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms162802.aspx

One way would be to create xml and send that to a sp that interprets the xml.

Edit 1 Add sample code

Create a test table

create table TestTable (Id int, Name nvarchar(50))

Create the stored procedure that insert from xml to table

create procedure XMLInsertToTestTable
    @Data xml
as
insert into TestTable (Id, Name)
select
    r.r.value('Id[1]', 'int'),
    r.r.value('Name[1]', 'nvarchar(50)')
from @Data.nodes('root/row') r(r)

Call the procedure with xml-string as argument

exec XMLInsertToTestTable
  '<root>
    <row> 
      <Id>1</Id>
      <Name>Name 1</Name>
    </row>    
    <row> 
      <Id>2</Id>
      <Name>Name 2</Name>
    </row>    
  </root>'
