Question

What would be the sql to enter thousands of records into Oracle db with C#?

Answer 1

Use ODP.NET and array binding:

class Record {
  public int Value1 { get; set; }
  public int Value2 { get; set; }
}

Record[] records = GetRecords();

const string CMD_TEXT = "INSERT INTO TABLE (Col1, Col2) VALUES (:Col1, :Col2);"
using (var conn = new OracleConnection(connectionString))
using (var cmd = new OracleCommand(CMD_TEXT, conn)) {
   cmd.BindByName = true;
   // number of rows to insert
   cmd.ArrayBindCount = records.Length;

   // bind array of values to parameters
   cmd.Parameters.Add(":col1", OracleDbType.Int32, 
      records.Select(r => r.Value1).ToArray()
   );
   cmd.Parameters.Add(":col2", OracleDbType.Int32, 
      records.Select(r => r.Value2).ToArray()
   );

   conn.Open();
   cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
   conn.Close();
}
