How to import large amount of rows (data) efficiently into dataverse on a daily basis

Posted on 1 Feb 2022 18:39:10 by

I have a scenario where I have to import approximately 500K rows of transactional data into dataverse on a daily basis.  I have tried importing from excel or csv file through dataflow, which took the the system around 4 hours to complete.  Ideally, I would like to cut this time to under 10 min.

Data structure is very simple with a single table, about 10 columns which includes date, numbers and text strings.

When I have imported a csv file with the same data format of 1M rows to SQL, it took around 8 min.  If there is a solution to migrate this data in SQL to dataverse in a short amount of time, that is also acceptable.

The reason we need to import the data to dataverse is to use the model driven app as a user interface.  Please let me know if there are any efficient way to import data into dataverse, or useful workaround. Thank you.

    Hello @EugeneW 

     

    You can try using DATAFLOW, but for sure it will also take much time less than the Dataverse import. 

     

    if you are using SQL to import the record, then you can simply write a query to pull the data from SQL and push it to Dataverse.

     

    Note:

    Why Import is taking much time ?

     

    1. The System will read all the data first

    2. if any error or mismatch available it will throw error first

    3. Without errored records, the system will start importing.
