How to bulk insert in mySql and node.js using mysljs

Question

Im not able to use bulk insert in my DB using node.js lib mysljs.

I followed answers from:

How do I do a bulk insert in mySQL using node.js

with no success.

var sql = "INSERT INTO resources (resource_container_id, name, title, extension, mime_type, size) VALUES ?";

var values = [
  [1, 'pic1', 'title1', '.png', 'image/png', 500], 
  [1, 'pic2', 'title2', '.png', 'image/png', 700]];

return connection.query(sql, [values], (result) => {
    if (err) throw err;
    connection.end();
});

I keep getting error:

 'You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near \'?\' at line 1' 

I also tried to promisify the query mehod using bluebird but with no success, I get same error again.

Answer 1

Try removing the square brackets around values

Answer 2

You need to mark your keys with the grave accent (backtick) character, like this: `key`

Making your query like this:

var sql = "INSERT INTO resources (`resource_container_id`, `name`, `title`, `extension`, `mime_type`, `size`) VALUES ?";
