O número de expressões de valor de linha na instrução INSERT excede o número máximo permitido de 1000 valores de linha

Um dos INSERT INTOscripts está escrito da seguinte maneira.

INSERT INTO tableName (Column1, Column2,....) VALUES (value1, Value2,...), (value1, Value2,...),....

A seguir está o erro que estamos enfrentando na análise acima da instrução insert

Mensagem 10738, Nível 15, Estado 1, Linha 1007 O número de expressões de valor de linha na instrução INSERT excede o número máximo permitido de 1000 valores de linha.

Minha pergunta simples é: podemos alterar o limite de 1000 valores?

Não. Essa restrição codificada existe por boas razões relacionadas ao possível tempo excessivo de compilação do plano de consulta. Você pode contornar isso listando as VALUEScláusulas em um CTE e depois INSERTno CTE, mas eu não o recomendo.

Divida a INSERTinstrução em VALUEScláusulas de <= 1.000 linhas cada como uma solução alternativa ou use um método alternativo de carregamento de dados como bcpou BULK INSERT. O problema fundamental pode ser resolvido em uma versão futura do SQL Server . Veja também a excelente resposta de Martin Smith no Stack Overflow.

Solução não recomendada:

DECLARE @T AS table (c1 int);
