Excellent article! Really enjoyed it. Thanks for taking the time to write that bad boy.

My only gripe would be this...

From the article:
Use it when you have millions of rows to copy files. It is a very fast option specialized in exporting and importing data from multiple sources.

The only thing missing from the article is that... a performance test of a million fairly wide rows for each method.

I'll also say that the Powershell output is a bit rough without any formatting added.

--Jeff Moden

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
