How do I make my insert statement faster?
You can use the following methods to speed up inserts: If you are inserting many rows from the same client at the same time, use INSERT statements with multiple VALUES lists to insert several rows at a time. This is considerably faster (many times faster in some cases) than using separate single-row INSERT statements.
Which is faster INSERT into or select into?
I’ve had DBAs state, Insert into is faster, since compiler/parser, does not need to find Column data types on the fly. Others stating Select into is faster. We conducted performance testing, and seems select into is slightly faster.

Is there a way to insert 100000 Records in SQL Server?
The following implementation is taken from the book “Microsoft SQL Server 2012 High-Performance T-SQL Using Window Functions” by Itzik Ben-Gak. (Since this comes from a book on SQL Server 2012, it might not work on SQL Server 2008 out-of-the-box, but it should be possible to adapt.)
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].
How long does it take to insert 100K rows in SQL Server?
For instance, trying to insert 100k rows like yours on a single row commit style: This runs in about 12seconds on my server. But adding transaction management and committing every 1000 rows the insert of 100k rows lasts only about 4s:
Why are inserts so slow in SQL Server?
If you don’t wrap sets of INSERTs into explicitly managed transaction then each INSERT is its own auto-committed transaction. Meaning each INSERT issues automatically a commit, and a commit has to wait until the log is durable (ie. written to disk). Flushing the log after each insert is extremely slow.
