🚀 Simplifying Bulk Operations with Dapper in .NET

If you’ve worked with Dapper, you already know how fast and lightweight it is for everyday database operations.

But when it comes to bulk operations — like inserting, updating, or deleting large volumes of data — things can quickly get messy.

That’s exactly the problem that led me to create:

👉 Pignone.Dapper.BulkExtensions
Available on NuGet: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Pignone.Dapper.BulkExtensions

---

💡 The Problem

Dapper is great, but it doesn’t provide native support for bulk operations.

This usually leads to:

• Loops executing multiple queries (poor performance)
• Repetitive boilerplate code
• Harder maintenance over time

---

✅ The Solution

Pignone.Dapper.BulkExtensions provides a simple and efficient way to handle bulk operations while keeping Dapper’s philosophy:

✔ Lightweight
✔ High performance
✔ Easy to use
✔ No unnecessary complexity

---

⚙️ Installation

dotnet add package Pignone.Dapper.BulkExtensions

---

🔥 Example Usage

using (var connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
{
    var items = new List<Product>
    {
        new Product { Name = "Product 1", Price = 10 },
        new Product { Name = "Product 2", Price = 20 }
    };

    await connection.BulkInsertAsync(items);
}

Yes, it’s that simple 🚀

🎯 When should you use it?

This package is a great fit when you need to:

• Insert large volumes of data
