Insert Data

中文 | English

FreeSql provides methods for inserting data in single and batches, and it can also return the inserted records when executed in a specific database.

static IFreeSql fsql = new FreeSql.FreeSqlBuilder()
    .UseConnectionString(FreeSql.DataType.MySql, connectionString)
    .UseAutoSyncStructure(true) //Automatically synchronize the entity structure to the database
    .Build(); //Be sure to define as singleton mode

class Topic {
    [Column(IsIdentity = true, IsPrimary = true)]
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public int Clicks { get; set; }
    public string Title { get; set; }
    public DateTime CreateTime { get; set; }
}

var items = new List<Topic>();
for (var a = 0; a < 10; a++) items.Add(new Topic { Title = $"newtitle{a}", Clicks = a * 100 });

1. Single Insert

var t1 = fsql.Insert(items[0]).ExecuteAffrows();
//INSERT INTO `Topic`(`Clicks`, `Title`, `CreateTime`) 
//VALUES(@Clicks0, @Title0, @CreateTime0)

If the table has auto-increment columns, id will be returned after inserting data.

Method 1: (Original)

long id = fsql.Insert(items[0]).ExecuteIdentity();
items[0].Id = id;

Method 2: (depends on FreeSql.Repository)

var repo = fsql.GetRepository<Topic>();
repo.Insert(items[0]);

In the internal implementation, after inserting the data, the self-incremental value will be assigned to items[0].Id (support batch insert backfill)

DbFirst sequence: [Column(IsIdentity = true, InsertValueSql = "seqname.nextval")]

2. Batch Insert

var t2 = fsql.Insert(items).ExecuteAffrows();
//INSERT INTO `Topic`(`Clicks`, `Title`, `CreateTime`) 
//VALUES(@Clicks0, @Title0, @CreateTime0), (@Clicks1, @Title1, @CreateTime1), 
//(@Clicks2, @Title2, @CreateTime2), (@Clicks3, @Title3, @CreateTime3), 
//(@Clicks4, @Title4, @CreateTime4), (@Clicks5, @Title5, @CreateTime5), 
//(@Clicks6, @Title6, @CreateTime6), (@Clicks7, @Title7, @CreateTime7), 
//(@Clicks8, @Title8, @CreateTime8), (@Clicks9, @Title9, @CreateTime9)

The errors that are easily caused by adding SqlServer in batches have been resolved:
The incoming request has too many parameters. The server supports a maximum of 2100 parameters. Reduce the number of parameters and resend the request.
Principle: Split into multiple packages and execute them in transactions.

When inserting large quantities of data, the internal logic is divided and executed in batches. The segmentation rules are as follows:

	Quantity	Size of Parameters
MySql	5000	3000
PostgreSQL	5000	3000
SqlServer	1000	2100
Oracle	500	999
Sqlite	5000	999

Quantity: It is the size of each batch of division. For example, a batch of 10,000 pieces of data will be inserted into two batches when mysql is executed.
Size of Parameters: the size of the parameter size divided into each batch. For example, when inserting 10,000 pieces of data in batches, each row needs to use 5 parameterizations, which will be divided into 3000/5 for each batch when mysql is executed.

After the execution of the split, when the external transaction is not provided, the internal transaction is opened to achieve insertion integrity. You can also set appropriate values through BatchOptions.

FreeSql adapts to the use of parameterization and non-parameterization of each data type. It is recommended to turn off the parameterization function for batch insertion and use .NoneParameter() to execute it.

Explanation of 8W: insert 180000 rows of records, and the number in the table is the execution time (unit: ms)

The test results are all based on the same operating system, and all are preheated.

4. Insert the specified columns

var t3 = fsql.Insert(items).InsertColumns(a => a.Title).ExecuteAffrows();
//INSERT INTO `Topic`(`Title`) 
//VALUES(@Title0), (@Title1), (@Title2), (@Title3), (@Title4), 
//(@Title5), (@Title6), (@Title7), (@Title8), (@Title9)

var t4 = fsql.Insert(items).InsertColumns(a =>new { a.Title, a.Clicks }).ExecuteAffrows();
//INSERT INTO `Topic`(`Clicks`, `Title`) 
//VALUES(@Clicks0, @Title0), (@Clicks1, @Title1), (@Clicks2, @Title2), 
//(@Clicks3, @Title3), (@Clicks4, @Title4), (@Clicks5, @Title5), 
//(@Clicks6, @Title6), (@Clicks7, @Title7), (@Clicks8, @Title8), 
//(@Clicks9, @Title9)

5. Ignore the specified columns

var t5 = fsql.Insert(items).IgnoreColumns(a => a.CreateTime).ExecuteAffrows();
//INSERT INTO `Topic`(`Clicks`, `Title`) 
//VALUES(@Clicks0, @Title0), (@Clicks1, @Title1), (@Clicks2, @Title2), 
//(@Clicks3, @Title3), (@Clicks4, @Title4), (@Clicks5, @Title5), 
//(@Clicks6, @Title6), (@Clicks7, @Title7), (@Clicks8, @Title8), 
//(@Clicks9, @Title9)

var t6 = fsql.Insert(items).IgnoreColumns(a => new { a.Title, a.CreateTime }).ExecuteAffrows();
///INSERT INTO `Topic`(`Clicks`) 
//VALUES(@Clicks0), (@Clicks1), (@Clicks2), (@Clicks3), (@Clicks4), 
//(@Clicks5), (@Clicks6), (@Clicks7), (@Clicks8), (@Clicks9)

6. Column Insertion Priority

All Columns < Specified columns (InsertColumns) < Ignored Columns (IgnoreColumns)

Without using InsertColumns/IgnoreColumns, all columns of the entity will be inserted into the database;
Otherwise, when using InsertColumns and not using IgnoreColumns, only the specified columns are inserted into the database;
Otherwise, in the case of using IgnoreColumns, only unspecified columns are inserted into the database.

7、Dictionary Insert

var dic = new Dictionary<string, object>();
dic.Add("id", 1);
dic.Add("name", "xxxx");

fsql.InsertDict(dic).AsTable("table1").ExecuteAffrows();

8. Import table data

int affrows = fsql.Select<Topic>()
  .Limit(10)
  .InsertInto(null, a => new Topic2
  {
    Title = a.Title
  });

INSERT INTO `Topic2`(`Title`, `Clicks`, `CreateTime`)
SELECT a.`Title`, 0, '0001-01-01 00:00:00' 
FROM `Topic` a 
limit 10

Note: Because Clicks and CreateTime are not selected, it'll use the value set by the target entity attribute [Column(InsertValueSql = xx)], or the default value of C# of the target entity attribute.

9. `Insert Ignore Into` (MySql only)

fsql.Insert<Topic>().MySqlIgnoreInto().AppendData(items).ExecuteAffrows();
///INSERT IGNORE INTO `Topic`(`Clicks`) 
//VALUES(@Clicks0), (@Clicks1), (@Clicks2), (@Clicks3), (@Clicks4), 
//(@Clicks5), (@Clicks6), (@Clicks7), (@Clicks8), (@Clicks9)

10. `On Duplicate Key Update` (MySql only)
