Anyone know how to Bulk Insert to SQL from string Array with comma delimited columns in Array

I have a string array in C3 that gets populate with Yahoo Historical data that has data in the array like this..

string url = string.Format("http://ichart.yahoo.com/table.csv?s={0}&a=2&b=1&c=2010&d={1}&e={2}&f={3}&g=&ignore=.csv",
    SymbolSelect, CurrentMonth, Today, CurrentYear); 
WebClient web = new WebClient();
string data = web.DownloadString(url);
string[] rows = data.Split("\n".ToCharArray());

Array rows--->> Date,Open,Low,close,Volume,AdjClose

The array rows will have each row as stated above with 6 columns of data 开发者_StackOverflow中文版per row. I have no idea how to insert that into a sql table? I know how to insert to a sql table, but not like this from this array structure. Anyone know how to insert every single row of thousands with this structure??

Thanks in Advance!

Depending on your SQL server technology, this may apply:

A SQL feature (since SQL-92) is the use of row value constructors to insert multiple rows at a time in a single SQL statement:

INSERT INTO ''TABLE'' (''column-a'', [''column-b, ... '']) 
VALUES (''value-1a'', [''value-1b, ...'']), 
       (''value-2a'', [''value-2b, ...'']), 
       ...

This feature is supported by DB2, SQL Server (since version 10.0 - ie. 2008), PostgreSQL (since version 8.2), MySQL, and H2.

The most efficient way is to use SqlBulkCopy.

The only problem with that approach is that you will have to project your data into a DataTable, DataRow[], etc. in order to use SqlBulkCopy

I'm reading "bulk insert" as SqlBulkCopy. There are two ways to work with SqlBulkCopy. The first is to pre-process your data into a DataTable. This is simple and easy, but is only suitable for small-to-moderate data due to the requirement to buffer all the data into a DataTable first!

The second is to create an IDataReader; this is a streaming API, so can be used for huge forwards-only data sources (such as massive log files). I wrote a SimpleDataReader that you can see here (ignore the xml; focus on the usage) that I use in a few places. It works fine; all you do is:

• in the constructor, tell the base constructor the types for the columns
• in DoRead attempt to read the next row (perhaps ReadLine on a text-reader), and either call SetValues and return true, or return false if there is no more data
• override DoClose if you want to clean up anything once the data is consumed (close the file, perhaps)
