Why is insert so slow?
I know that an INSERT on a SQL table can be slow for any number of reasons: Existence of INSERT TRIGGERs on the table. Lots of enforced constraints that have to be checked (usually foreign keys) Page splits in the clustered index when a row is inserted in the middle of the table.
How do you speed up insert statements?
To optimize insert speed, combine many small operations into a single large operation. Ideally, you make a single connection, send the data for many new rows at once, and delay all index updates and consistency checking until the very end.

Why does SQL Server insert into large table take so long?
Recently I have experimented with changing the clustered index of the large table to an identity int column, which has brought the insert down from 3 hours to one hour, but I am still puzzled why this simple query should take so long to run (regardless of the size of the table) CREATE TABLE [dbo].
