    I have few questions on Bulk Operations

    1) how the SQL Server detects Bulk Operations ?

    2) I did put SQL Server database in Bulk Logged recovery model and started to insert 1000 rows

    after insert 500 rows Server got rebooted because of some Hard issue.

    i) After the server is backup to online, is the database went to restoring mode ?

    ii) is the transaction roll backed after the server is back to online ?

    ii) do we need rerun the same transaction after server is back to online ?

    are these questions about theoretical actions?

    1)Bulk operations explicitly use the BULK methodology, whehter it's an object,like .net's System.Data.SqlClientSqlBulkCopy Class,

    or the BULK INSERT operator.

    2)SQL is atomic, so your 500 row operation out of 1000 would be rolled back, as an incomplete transaction if the server went down mid insert.

    i) it would be in normal ONLINE mode; you can only get in RESTORINg mode if you were to run a resotre with no recovery, so it would be waiting on more logs. that's not happening in your example.

    ii) yes, the old transaction would have been rolledback, assuming it didn't finish before the server went down.

    iii)since the transaction would be rolled back, you would have to rerun the transaction.
