BulkInsertTask.KeepIdentity Property

public:
 property bool KeepIdentity { bool get(); void set(bool value); };

public bool KeepIdentity { get; set; }

member this.KeepIdentity : bool with get, set

Public Property KeepIdentity As Boolean

Property Value

true if identity value or values in the imported data file should be used for the identity column. true assigns the values that are specified in the source file to the identity column; false ignores the identity-column values that are specified in the source. The default value is true.

Implements

Examples

The following example creates a BulkInsertTask, and then shows the default settings of the properties, including the KeepIdentity, by using the TaskHost. The example then sets two fields to demonstrate how to set field values.
