Hi Scott,
![]()
Yes, I am checking one by one because my goal is to fail the whole upload if there is any duplicate entry and to inform the user that they have a duplicate entry in the file.
Regards
Sachin

Are you checking one-by-one because your goal is not to fail the whole upload that contains the duplicates, but rather to skip only the duplicates?
If that's the case, I think you'd be better off copying the CSV straight into a temp table, using a join to delete duplicates from it, then insert the remainder into the target table, and finally drop the temp table.
