Hello,
I have an application which will insert records from files to database tables.The data size is around 50 to 60 gb(size may vary) ,so when i am transfering this records from files to database tables it will take 5 to 6 days for processing data.I am trying to optimize this process.

What are the best method to optimize this process of transfering large amount of data into databse tables.

I am using vs2010 and sql server 2008.
