Alan Nelson writes "I have a performance question:

I have a delimited string of values, and I want to insert each of these values into a SQL Server table. Assume the delimited string value is less than 8000 characters....

As I see it, I have two options:

1.) I can "break out" each value from the string in a middle-tier component, and then loop through the string - sending each value to a stored proc which inserts the value.

2.) I could send the entire delimited string to SQL Server at once... and use T-SQL string manipulation to "break out" each value from the string into a temporary table... and then run a single INSERT statement against that temp table.

Where should I do the string manipulation to break the values out of the string?

Thanks...
