          Optimized bulk load means SQL Server is using a special bulk load code path (fast load) and minimal logging.



          These concepts are described in:



          • SQL Server 2016, Minimal logging and Impact of the Batchsize in bulk load operations

          • Prerequisites for Minimal Logging in Bulk Import

          • The Data Loading Performance Guide

          From that last link:




          Although readers under RCSI are not affected by X locks, there are two bulk load situations that will block RCSI queries (as well as NOLOCK queries) in SQL Server 2008:



          • When populating a heap with TABLOCK using BULK INSERT, INSERT-SELECT, or other bulk load operations. This is because the heap load acquires a BULK OPERATION intent exclusive (IX) lock and the NOLOCK or RCSI readers acquire a BULK OPERATION shared (S) lock. To bulk load a heap and permit concurrent readers even using RCSI or NOLOCK, you must eliminate the TABLOCK hint and thus give up minimal logging.

                    One-line joke

                    A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
