Re: sql server pulling large files from system i for warehouse

Wouldn't you do better transferring in batch? Drive from AS/400 side and
bulk import into SQL Server?

I guess I would have to ask... would I ??
Before I can crank up a project like that I would need some assurrance the
i to sql server pipe (over same ethernet backbone) is faster than the sql server
"select into" script.
They have not implemented any "block insert" function (prob need to update
the OLE provider).

We have an app written in Visual Studio 2008 to pull 100 or so files into
a SQL Server warehouse (approx 35 gig) and taking several hours. They have
looked at the hardware side - all gigabit ethernet, and i525 v6r1 doing not
much else at the time.
Provider is the OLE-DB. So far attempts to use .net provider halt on
connect in Vis Studio 2008 (and we see articles on loading "registry
entries").
Without spend$$$ any recommendations?
