Hi,

is there an option to increase the time of inserting 1M rows to a
table using stored procedure?

Already removed all the indexes and the database is on Raid 10/

Thanks

There are certainly several options. BULK INSERT or BCP is probably
the fastest. But you say "with a stored procedure". Where does the
data come from? How does your current solution look like? And which
version of SQL Server are you using?

Pity you are not on SQL 2008, since INSERT can be minimally logged on SQL

There are not really that many options, but it may help to do it in batches
of 10000, 50000 or 100000 rows. It is essential that if you batch, that you
select the batches so that the selection itself does not take too much
time.

But then again, maybe that is the problem? That is, it is not the insertion
that actually takes time, but it is the selection of it. Could you post an
example of your procedures?
