This method copies all rows in the supplied IDataReader to a destination table specified by the DestinationTableName property of the OracleBulkCopy object.

Declaration

// C#
public void WriteToServer(IDataReader reader);

Parameters

• reader

  A IDataReader instance containing rows to be copied to the destination table.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException - The reader parameter is null.

InvalidOperationException - The connection is not in an open state.

Remarks

The bulk copy operation starts with the next available row of the data reader. Typically, the reader returned by a call to the ExecuteReader method is passed to the WriteToServer method so that the next row becomes the first row. To copy multiple result sets, the application must call NextResult on the reader and then call the WriteToServer method again.

This WriteToServer method changes the state of the reader as it calls reader.Read internally to get the source rows. Thus, at the end of the WriteToServer operation, the reader is at the end of the result set.

The ColumnMappings collection maps from the data reader columns to the destination database table.
