C# SqlBulkCopy Class

[jwright11]

I've been trying to use ODBC.jl to efficiently load data from my local computer onto a MS SQL Server. I am able to load data but it goes row-by-row so is not efficient. I haven't found any way to do a bulk insert using ODBC.jl. But I am aware of the SqlBulkCopy class in C#, although I do not know C# myself. Could the DotNET.jl package be used to do bulk insert to SQL Server by using the SqlBulkCopy class?

I downloaded .NET SDK 7.0 and I tried to reference the System.Data.SqlClient shown in the example code in the link above but I don't know what the right name should be for the "mscorlib" shown below.

julia> SqlClient = T"System.Data.SqlClient, mscorlib"

Any thoughts on what the right name is?

I also tried to do the reflection assembly approach. I searched my computer for System.Data.SqlClient.dll and found that several programs I have installed have a copy of this file so I pointed to one (installed by SSMS) and that loaded okay.

julia> T"System.Reflection.Assembly".LoadFrom(raw".....link to System.Data.SqlClient.dll...")

However, when I try to reference any of the functions shown in the example code for SqlBulkCopy in the link above I get errors.

Am I on the right track here or way off base? I apologize if I'm way off, but I am interested in trying to figure out how to efficiently load data into SQL Server from my local computer using Julia (maybe with the help of C# :-)! Appreciate any help/thoughts.
