Best data structure for a large database application



Hi,

I have a really large db application and it needs to do basic operation such as insert, modify, and delete records...

For example, one of the task is to read about 30 000 entries in the Excel file and import it to the database.

What is the best data structure to be used in this situation? (dataset, arraylist, etc...) ?

Thanks for your help

I am using C#, .Net 1.1 and SQL Server 2000
OK, that's what we needed to know.

Here is a good article on how to simulate a "bulk copy" inserts using XML and stored procedures.

I'd put my effort on that "end" of the solution, and not worry about how to store the data in the client.
