RepoDb.SapHana.BulkOperations 0.0.1-alpha1

RepoDb.SapHana.BulkOperations

A high-performant extension library of RepoDB that does bulk operations towards a SAP HANA database. It uses chunked, parameterized multi-row INSERT statements under the hood (SAP HANA has no native bulk-copy API equivalent to SqlBulkCopy/MySqlBulkCopy).

This provider has not been verified against a live SAP HANA instance — see the code comments in this project (particularly Helpers/SapHanaText.cs and Base/WriteToServer.cs) for the specific assumptions made, and verify them before relying on this in production.

Installation

Install-Package RepoDb.SapHana.BulkOperations

Then initialize the bootstrapper once at application startup:

GlobalConfiguration
    .Setup()
    .UseSapHana();

Async Methods

Every synchronous operation has a corresponding Async overload.

BulkInsert

Inserts a list of entities into the database in bulk. Returns the number of inserted rows.

using (var connection = new HanaConnection(ConnectionString))
{
    var customers = GetCustomers();
    var insertedRows = connection.BulkInsert<Customer>(customers);
}

Or via table-name:

using (var connection = new HanaConnection(ConnectionString))
{
    var customers = GetCustomers();
    var insertedRows = connection.BulkInsert("Customer", customers);
}

Or via a DataTable:

using (var connection = new HanaConnection(ConnectionString))
{
    var table = GetCustomersAsDataTable();
    var insertedRows = connection.BulkInsert("Customer", table);
}

Returning generated identities:

using (var connection = new HanaConnection(ConnectionString))
{
    var customers = GetCustomers(); // Id not set
    connection.BulkInsert<Customer>(customers, identityBehavior: SapHanaBulkImportIdentityBehavior.ReturnIdentity);
    // customers[i].Id now holds the generated identity for each row
}

BulkMerge

Upserts a list of entities in bulk — inserts new rows and updates existing ones based on the defined qualifiers. Returns the number of affected rows.

using (var connection = new HanaConnection(ConnectionString))
{
    var customers = GetCustomers();
    var mergedRows = connection.BulkMerge<Customer>(customers);
}

Or with qualifiers:

using (var connection = new HanaConnection(ConnectionString))
{
    var customers = GetCustomers();
    var mergedRows = connection.BulkMerge<Customer>(customers, qualifiers: e => new { e.LastName, e.DateOfBirth });
}

Or via table-name with qualifiers:

using (var connection = new HanaConnection(ConnectionString))
{
    var customers = GetCustomers();
    var mergedRows = connection.BulkMerge("Customer", customers, qualifiers: Field.From("LastName", "DateOfBirth"));
}

Or via a DataTable:

using (var connection = new HanaConnection(ConnectionString))
{
    var table = GetCustomersAsDataTable();
    var mergedRows = connection.BulkMerge("Customer", table);
}

BulkUpdate

Updates existing rows in the database in bulk, matched by the defined qualifiers. Returns the number of updated rows.

using (var connection = new HanaConnection(ConnectionString))
{
    var customers = GetCustomers();
    var rows = connection.BulkUpdate<Customer>(customers);
}

Or with qualifiers:

using (var connection = new HanaConnection(ConnectionString))
{
    var customers = GetCustomers();
    var rows = connection.BulkUpdate<Customer>(customers, qualifiers: e => new { e.LastName, e.DateOfBirth });
}

Or via a DataTable:

using (var connection = new HanaConnection(ConnectionString))
{
    var table = GetCustomersAsDataTable();
    var rows = connection.BulkUpdate("Customer", table);
}

BulkDelete

Deletes existing rows from the database in bulk, matched by the defined qualifiers. Returns the number of deleted rows.

using (var connection = new HanaConnection(ConnectionString))
{
    var customers = GetCustomers();
    var deletedRows = connection.BulkDelete<Customer>(customers);
}

Or with qualifiers:

using (var connection = new HanaConnection(ConnectionString))
{
    var customers = GetCustomers();
    var deletedRows = connection.BulkDelete<Customer>(customers, qualifiers: e => new { e.LastName, e.DateOfBirth });
}

Or via a DataTable:

using (var connection = new HanaConnection(ConnectionString))
{
    var table = GetCustomersAsDataTable();
    var deletedRows = connection.BulkDelete("Customer", table);
}

BulkDeleteByKey

Deletes existing rows from the database in bulk, matched by their primary (or identity) key value alone — no entities or DataTable involved, just the list of key values to remove. Returns the number of deleted rows.

using (var connection = new HanaConnection(ConnectionString))
{
    var primaryKeys = new [] { 10045, 10046, 10047 };
    var deletedRows = connection.BulkDeleteByKey("Customer", primaryKeys);
}
