Description: Bulk insert is a method used in databases to insert multiple records in a single operation, optimizing performance and reducing the execution time of SQL queries. This approach allows developers and database administrators to perform large volume data inserts more efficiently, minimizing the overhead associated with individual insert operations. Instead of executing multiple insert commands one by one, bulk insert groups these commands into a single transaction, which not only speeds up the process but also reduces the number of interactions with the database server. This method is particularly useful in situations where large amounts of data need to be loaded, such as during data migration, importing records from external files, or updating databases with new information. Additionally, bulk insert can help maintain data integrity by allowing all inserts to be performed in a single atomic operation, meaning that if an error occurs, the entire operation can be rolled back without leaving partial records in the database.
