OdbcBulkCopy

A high-performance .NET wrapper for the ODBC Bulk Copy API, enabling fast bulk data loads into SQL Server.

Overview

OdbcBulkCopy uses the native ODBC BCP (Bulk Copy Program) API to load data into SQL Server significantly faster than standard ADO.NET inserts. It supports all common SQL Server data types and is designed for server-side bulk data ingestion scenarios.

Requirements

  • .NET 8.0 or later
  • Windows (requires a native ODBC driver DLL)
  • ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server (recommended) — Download from Microsoft

Supported ODBC Drivers

Driver Status
ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server Supported (recommended)
SQL Server Native Client 11.0 Supported (deprecated)
SQL Server Native Client 10.0 Supported (deprecated)
SQL Native Client Supported (deprecated)
SQL Server Supported (deprecated)

Supported Data Types

BigInt, Binary, Bit, Char, Date, DateTime, DateTime2, DateTimeOffset, Decimal, Float, Int, Money, NChar, NVarChar, NVarChar(MAX), Real, SmallDateTime, SmallInt, SmallMoney, Time, TinyInt, UniqueIdentifier, VarBinary, VarBinary(MAX), VarChar, VarChar(MAX)

All data types support both nullable and non-nullable variants.

Usage

Select the driver matching your installed ODBC driver:

// Use ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server (recommended)
var driver = OdbcDriver.OdbcDriver17;

var connectionString = "Driver={ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server};" +
                       "Server=tcp:yourserver.database.windows.net,1433;" +
                       "Database=YourDatabase;" +
                       "Uid=YourUser;" +
                       "Pwd=YourPassword;" +
                       "Encrypt=yes;" +
                       "TrustServerCertificate=yes;" +
                       "Connection Timeout=30;";
