Getting @@ROWCOUNT from BULK INSERT with BATCHSIZE set

Hello!
I have a stored procedure that takes a file name as a parameter and
imports the data from there into the appropriate table using the
correct format file. I would like to save the number of rows inserted
at the end of my stored procedure. Since the file name is variable I
use EXEC (@.cmd) where the @.cmd is a BULK INSERT command that I have
generated.
Since some of these files are extremely large I have set the BATCHSIZE
for BULK INSERT to 1,000,000. However, this causes @.@.ROWCOUNT to only
show the number of rows inserted in the last batch. Since the table
name is variable I don't have an easy way of getting the count(*) from
it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

You could run SELKCT COUNT(*) on the table before and after, but that's
of course ont very appealing on a large table. (The fact that the
table is dynamic should not be a problem. You do know sp_executesql,
don't you? Else read
http://www.sommarskog.se/dynamic_sq...#sp_executesql.
The other option would be to have the client to catch those rows
affected messages for each batch committed.

Thanks for the advice Erland. I had forgotten that sp_executesql
allowed for output parameters, so that should give me what I need using
SELECT COUNT(*). Not the most elegant way and it will suffer a
performance hit since some of the tables can be quite large, but it's a
process that runs for up to 12 hours once a month, so a couple minutes
to get a count from a table shouldn't be a problem.
Thanks!

Get Stored Procedures parameter names and types...

Sorry if I haven't choose appropriate forum for this question.

I have MSSQL05 beta. I know how to list all stored procedures in selected database (everything is in localhost). I need to list parameter names and types for selected stored procedure(s).
How can I do that or anything that can return parameter names and types?

It's windows application.
You should move to a non-beta version as you are breaking the EULA with using the old version, but anyway, the parameters can be views with the

INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Parameters

view.

SELECT *
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Parameters

Thanks for the reply. This is what I wanted.
