How long is a piece of string ?
There are just to many factors to consider to answer a question like this correctly.
The opbvious is how much data, what kind of data, what is your link, what is your network link and so on and so on and so on....is it via linked server, have you exported the file...ok enough....you get the picture.
Hope this helps.
