SQL Bulk Insert Vs Update - DeadLock issues?

By default SqlBulkCopy doesn't take exclusive locks so while it's doing it's thing and inserting data your update process kicks off and thus causes a deadlock. To get around this you could instruct SqlBulkCopy to take an exclusive table lock as you already suggested or you can set the batch size of the bulk insert to a reasonable number.

If you can get away with it I think the table lock idea is the best option.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
