Hi Everyone ,
I need to insert about 20 records to a database table.... Which is the better approach -
1) inserting one record at a time
2) concantening the insert queries using a semicolon and executing it as a batch
Regards

Neither is better, they are essentially the same.

Have you considered putting the 20 rows into a temp table or table variable and running as a single INSERT?
