Hi

I have approximatly 1 million rows to insert in a database from a csv file. When I do that using DTS I get a timout. What would be the best way to insert this huge amount without timeout?

1 million doesn't seem to be a huge number for DTS. Where do you get timeout? in DTS?

Try increasing your connection timeout setting for your connection object.

Hi

I inserted the rows now, but when I add a extra column named ID and set that to Identity, I get a timeout when Sql server change all rows. Is there anywhere I can change that timeout period?

Hi, if you wanna increase the timeout value for your connection just use the enterprise manager to do so, open it, and right click on your sql server instance(the server icon) in which the database is contained, then choose properties, and choose the connections tag, in the bottom part of the window it says something like timeout value of the query, and then increase the value for it, accept and thats it.

I hope this helped you.
