The method of efficiently batch inserting large amounts of data into MySQL in C#
In C# development, sometimes we need to insert a large amount of data into the MySQL database. In response to this situation, we can use batch insertion to improve efficiency. This article will introduce a method based on C# to batch insert large amounts of data into the MySQL database, with complete source code and corresponding description.
First, we need to install MySQL Connector/NET, which is an official ADO.NET driver for connecting to a MySQL server. You can download and install it from the official MySQL website.
Next, we need to create a C# console application. In Visual Studio, select New Project, then select Console Application. Give the project a name, such as "BulkInsertDemo".
Once the project is created, we need to add a reference to MySQL Connector/NET in the project. Right-click on the project and select "Manage NuGet Packages" from the pop-up context menu. Search for and install MySQL Connector/NET in the NuGet package manager.
Now, let's start writing the code. Open the Program.cs file and add the following code to the Main() method:
using MySql.Data.MySqlClient;
using System;
