I used the Wizard to copy a table from ServerA to ServerB. Then I thought I could edit the SSIS package through BIDS to set the batch size. But my OLEDB connections don't seem to be the same type as the ones I read about.
If I go to "Connection Managers" and edit "DestinationConnectionOLEDB", then choose the "ALL" option, I have settings such as:
Extended Properties
Locale Identifier
Connect Timeout
General Timeout
File Name
OLE DB Services
If I right-click properties on "DestinationConnectionOLEDB", I get a pane on the right with:
ConnectionString
Data Source ID
Delay Validation ?
Where is this "Batch Size" Setting ?

I'm assuming you have an OLEDB Destination and the Data Access Mode is set to Table or View. Try changing that to Table or View - Fast Load.

Hey Alwin,

I never said mine is better or urs is better ... i was supporting ur answer and in addition to that i tried to give him some exact things which will be there in BIDS..

Once again no offense to you but why are we arguing on this not so important thing.

OK ... I think I have it .... I was looking at the "DestinationConnectionOLEDB" tab by mistake Thanks

I want to copy 40,000,000 records, so I'm setting the batch size to 50,000 to keep it manageable.

I don't quite understand what the "Maximum insert commit size " setting does.
