SQL Server Insert Query Slow (1500rows, 4.5sec)?

Rather than doing individual insert statements you'll most likely want to do a union like this.

This insert is slow because your adding 1 row at a time and it's fully logged. The bottleneck is not writing the data, it's writing what you're doing in the log.

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.
