SqlBulkCopy.BulkCopyTimeout Property
Number of seconds for the operation to complete before it times out.
Assembly: System.Data (in System.Data.dll)
Property Value
Type: System.Int32The integer value of the BulkCopyTimeout property. The default is 30 seconds. A value of 0 indicates no limit; the bulk copy will wait indefinitely.
If the operation does time out, the transaction is not committed and all copied rows are removed from the destination table.
The following console application demonstrates how to modify the time-out to 60 seconds when bulk loading data.
In this example, the source data is first read from a SQL Server table to a SqlDataReader instance. The source data does not have to be located on SQL Server; you can use any data source that can be read to an IDataReader or loaded to a DataTable.
Important |
This sample will not run unless you have created the work tables as described in Bulk Copy Example Setup. This code is provided to demonstrate the syntax for using SqlBulkCopy only. If the source and destination tables are in the same SQL Server instance, it is easier and faster to use a Transact-SQLINSERT … SELECT statement to copy the data. |
using System.Data.SqlClient; class Program { static void Main() { string connectionString = GetConnectionString(); // Open a sourceConnection to the AdventureWorks database. using (SqlConnection sourceConnection = new SqlConnection(connectionString)) { sourceConnection.Open(); // Perform an initial count on the destination table. SqlCommand commandRowCount = new SqlCommand( "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM " + "dbo.BulkCopyDemoMatchingColumns;", sourceConnection); long countStart = System.Convert.ToInt32( commandRowCount.ExecuteScalar()); Console.WriteLine("Starting row count = {0}", countStart); // Get data from the source table as a SqlDataReader. SqlCommand commandSourceData = new SqlCommand( "SELECT ProductID, Name, " + "ProductNumber " + "FROM Production.Product;", sourceConnection); SqlDataReader reader = commandSourceData.ExecuteReader(); // Create the SqlBulkCopy object using a connection string. // In the real world you would not use SqlBulkCopy to move // data from one table to the other in the same database. using (SqlBulkCopy bulkCopy = new SqlBulkCopy(connectionString)) { bulkCopy.DestinationTableName = "dbo.BulkCopyDemoMatchingColumns"; // Set the timeout. bulkCopy.BulkCopyTimeout = 60; try { // Write from the source to the destination. bulkCopy.WriteToServer(reader); } catch (Exception ex) { Console.WriteLine(ex.Message); } finally { // Close the SqlDataReader. The SqlBulkCopy // object is automatically closed at the end // of the using block. reader.Close(); } } // Perform a final count on the destination // table to see how many rows were added. long countEnd = System.Convert.ToInt32( commandRowCount.ExecuteScalar()); Console.WriteLine("Ending row count = {0}", countEnd); Console.WriteLine("{0} rows were added.", countEnd - countStart); Console.WriteLine("Press Enter to finish."); Console.ReadLine(); } } private static string GetConnectionString() // To avoid storing the sourceConnection string in your code, // you can retrieve it from a configuration file. { return "Data Source=(local); " + " Integrated Security=true;" + "Initial Catalog=AdventureWorks;"; } }

Album Remarks & Appraisals:
Living busily on Planet Earth, we rarely remember that we actually inhabit only a miniscule part of the universe. In The Planets and the Solar System, Jen Green paints the wider picture, and takes us on a journey across billions of kilometers in our galaxy, from our Sun to near and distant planets. Some, like Mercury, have a molten core surrounded with crust and spins quickly; Jupiter, on the other hand, is a big ball of gas. For 2,500 years, mathematicians and scientists from Pythagoras to Hubble have investigated our universe and found that the dimensions, the temperatures and the speeds (light years!) are unbelievably extreme. A fascinating introduction for younger listeners.

Nokia warns of falling markets in coming quarters
Nokia, like Intel and Qualcomm before it, today announced that it was cutting its estimate for 2008 from 1.26 billion handsets sold to 1.24 billion handsets. In Q4 2008, Nokia anticipates it will sell 330 million handsets, well below the analysts estimate of 346 million. It also warned that 2009 is going to be lower than what it had estimated earlier.
As I have been saying for a while now, the economy is hurting a lot of sectors, including mobile. It remains to be seen which companies survive this downturn.
Apple, RIM win smartphone marketshare from Nokia
According to a report published by Canalys, a market research company, Apple and RIM are winning market share in the smartphone category from Nokia. By Q3 2008, 40 million smartphones were sold worldwide. This represents a 28% growth YoY compared to 3% growth for the larger mobile phone market.
Nokia lost significant ground YoY in Q3 down from 51.4% in 2007 to 38.9% in 2008. Nokia uses the Symbian platform which as a result also lost significant ground. Here are the top 4 smartphone platforms and their market share:
- Symbian 46.6% down from 68.1% in Q3 2007
- Apple 17.3%
- Microsoft 13.6%
Since the bottom three vendors are so close, there is going to be continued fight for the second spot. It is likely that RIM might overtake Apple in Q4 with its upcoming release of Blackberry Storm and also the recent release of Blackberry Bold.
[Via Reuters]
Samsung edges Motorola for largest phone vendor in US
In a recent study done by Strategy Analytics, a market research firm, of the US mobile phone market, the vendor landscape has changed significantly. Motorola has lost its #1 spot which it held since 2004. Samsung has overtaken it and LG is close behind. Here are the top 3 handset vendors according to Strategy Analytics:
- Samsung 22.4%
- Motorola 21.1%
Also in the report, RIM continues to maintain double digit market share in US for second straight quarter. Apple is in the 6th position and Nokia has lost some market share and is now at 8.4%.
[Via Reuters]
Is Mobile sector headed into troubled waters?
Yesterday, AT&T announced some stellar performance numbers for the 3rd quarter 2008 led by growth in Apple's iPhone 3G products. AT&T activiated 2.4 million iPhones during the quarter and their wireless data revenue grew to $2.7 billion. More recently, Apple also announced a great quarter with record sales of 6.9 million iPhones during the quarter. However, the future is very uncertain.
The end of last quarter saw the beginning of the economic downturn. We have already seen the effects of the downturn on Nokia which said its Q3 revenue fell by 7% from previous quarter. Sony Ericsson has also been affected by the downturn with their sales down 10% over previous quarter and profits down 1% over last quarter. No one knows how long it is going to last. As such all three companies mentioned above have lowered their forecast for the next quarter and the new year. That was expected, that is not the big story.
The bigger story is the profit squeeze that the Mobile sector is facing. Take for example AT&T which is considered the bellweather for this sector. As I mentioned earlier, its revenue grew impressively. However, it had to subsidize the iPhones heavily, to the tune of $900 million in the quarter which amounts to a 10¢ reduction in its earnings per share. Clearly, AT&T has to subsidize the iPhones to stay competitive with RIM Blackberry, T-Mobile's G1 and Microsoft Windows Mobile based phones with various carriers including AT&T. However, it is going to get worse going forward as consumers reduce their spending and shun expensive plans. There is a danger that consumers might shun smartphones all together. As Sanford C. Bernstein analyst Craig Moffett said to BusinessWeek:
you wonder whether the iPhone runs any risk of tilting from being the next cool gadget to suddenly being a symbol of excess.
I have a feeling that not just iPhones, but other smartphones will end up looking like "symbol of excess". If that happens, RIM will probably be affected the most. Unfortunately for RIM, its Blackberry Storm and Blackberry Bold launches are coming in the first quarter after the major financial crisis and as US heads into a recession. Whether RIM will see the same bounce in sales as Apple did, remains to be seen.
All carriers will see further worsening of their ARPU during Q4 2008, according to the IE Market Research Corp.'s 4Q 2008 United States Mobile Operator Forecast, 2008 – 2010 report. In Q208, the ARPU declined by 1.7% across all carriers. However, Sprint and T-Mobile will be more adversely affected as it takes them longer to get a return on their their investments in WiMax and 3G respectively.
Nokia E72 headed for AT&T
The new Nokia E72 which we recently saw in a leaked video is headed exclusively to AT&T with Feature Pack 2, according to Boy Genius Report. Earlier reports had the E72 mixed up with the E63. However, BGR has confirmed that they are two different handsets and E72 is indeed the next version of the E71, though not much is known about the E63 yet. Also, for those of you who did not get a chance to see the earlier video before it was pulled down, hereis one from BGR.
Gartner: Worldwide sales of smartphones grew 15.7%
Gartner, today followed up with a press release reporting that the smartphones sales grew 15.7% in Q2 2008 over Q2, 2007. This amounts to 32.2m units sold in Q2. This is pretty much in line with what other research companies have recently reported and also what Nokia said in its forecast for Q3. Here is the breakup of sales according to Gartner:

The case of alleged sexual harassment raised by Cristy Ramos against 2 members of the Philippine national football team, the widely (and wildly) popular Azkals, has brought the issue of sexual harassment into the forefront once more, this time in the area of team sports.
The details of the incident has been widely reported elsewhere, and need not be repeated here. Suffice it to say that it has led to wide, and sometimes acrimonious, debate online and off among those who would condemn the perceived sexual "offenders†and those who would defend, or at least offer explanations for, their actions.
First the disclaimer: The Ramos sisters were good friends and our neighbors at the subdivision where we grew up. The Ramoses are family friends, FVR and my dad having gone to college together. However, we drifted apart during our college years, having attended different schools, although I would bump into the recently-departed Jo once in awhile, she being a popular campus figure in U.P. Diliman. I would also see Cristy's husband, Freddy Jalasco, socially from time to time although I have not seen him in years.
There are two particular articles which I found most enlightening, all the more so for being from the point of view of women who are no strangers to the atmosphere and psychology of men's team sports. One is by Lia Cruz (Sexual Harassment in mens' locker room should be challenged) and the other by Mika Palileo (What is sexual harassment? On Sofia Cristina and the woman question), both at the AksyonTV website. Their insights are fascinating and cast light on one of the darker aspects of popular sports.

Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) Review
By Joshua Tyler
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory stars Gene Wilder as Wonka himself, in an 70's adaptation of the popular children's book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Willy Wonka tells the story of a poverty-stricken boy on a fantastic voyage through the magical candy factories of the Willy Wonka Candy Company. A strange and fantastic place, filled with dancing midget Oompa Loompas and chocolates with powers far beyond those of common Hershey bars.
Here, as he does in Young Frankenstein, Wilder makes his mark as an amazing character actor, specializing in the disturbing and wildly wonderful secrets of the world. With Wilder's Wonka as a guide, the Chocolate Factory comes to life as an amazing fantasyland, a place where anything, any dream... or any nightmare can come true. But there are lessons to be learned in a place where your fondest wish can be your greatest downfall.
The Gobstoppers may be sugar coated, but the movie is not. Willy Wonka deals with child issues such as greediness, selfishness, and vanity in harshly adult ways. Death could be the punishment for an adult sweet tooth, so kiddies beware! But Wonka never strays too far down the path of realism, maintaining childlike innocence throughout Wonka's wacky world.
Unlike other films, which seem to indulge the bad parenting and me-first behavior of modern society, Wonka dives in like a sugared-up Barney Fife and nips it in the bud. The unexpected is key, and each moment of the film brings something you are unlikely to ever see anywhere else.
Yes, at times the cheesiness is thick. And even though it may seem a little hokey to watch Charlie fly through the air in a glass elevator, somehow, Wonka manages to make even these most absurd scenes exhilarating.
Much like Hook or The Goonies, Willy Wonka is bound to drag the child inside of all of us out, lured by the scent of gum drops and Everlasting Gobstoppers.
The tale of the film's DVD release is as interesting as the film itself. Warner Brothers originally released it only in pan-and-scan mode. Most DVD enthusiasts (myself included) wouldn't touch a full frame DVD with a 10-foot Scrumdidleeuptious Bar, so furious Wonka-heads launched a petition campaign for a widescreen release. 10,000 signatures were garnered within a week, and only a few months later, the widescreen Willy was born. Whichever version of the disc you buy, you're in for a real treat -- the Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack makes the songs fill the room, the picture is crystal clear, and the extras are good -- most notably a retrospective documentary that profiles the Wonka kids extensively (Peter Ostrum/Charlie never acted in another film and became a veterinarian). All told, it's a film I look forward to watching again and again with my kids -- the highest praise I can muster.
