This method creates and adds an OracleBulkCopyColumnMapping object to the collection using the supplied source and destination column names.

Declaration

// C#
public OracleBulkCopyColumnMapping Add(string sourceColumn, 
   string destinationColumn);

Parameters

• sourceColumn

  The name of the source column within the data source.

• destinationColumn

  The name of the destination column within the destination table.

Exceptions

InvalidOperationException - The bulk copy operation is in progress.

Return Value

The newly created OracleBulkCopyColumnMapping object that was added to the collection.

Remarks

It is not necessary to specify column mappings for all the columns in the data source. If a ColumnMapping is not specified, then, by default, columns are mapped based on the ordinal position. This succeeds only if the source and destination table schema match. If there is a mismatch, an InvalidOperationException is thrown.

All the mappings in a mapping collection must be by name or ordinal position.
