    And, no... there's no way that I'd use SSIS for any of this. It's just not necessary

    Completely disagree.  SSIS inserts large row counts this very well.  I can load millions of rows in minutes, all batched in without any need for me to do anything else.  I've occasionally had to use TSQL to batch inserts because it can provide a finer control over the order.  I have to use TSQL to batch updates and deletes.  If there's a good way to do this in SSIS I haven't seen it. 

    It's ok.  We'll agree to disagree, partially even because of what you stated about the updates and deletes.  I just don't need SSIS to do any of what most people use SSIS for especially in the areas related to dynamic mapping and the auto-normalization of even some very complex spreadsheet imports.

    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.
