Question about batch save objects in Django

Question

I haven\'t seen any thing on this topic in Django\'s online documents.

I am trying to save a list of objects to database, but what I can do is loop through the list

Answer 1

Unfortunately, batch inserts are something that Django 1.3 and prior do not directly support. If you want to use the ORM, then you do have to call save() on each individual object. If it's a large list and performance is an issue, you can use django.db.cursor to INSERT the items manually inside a transaction to dramatically speed the process up. If you have a huge dataset, you need to start looking at Database engine specific methods, like COPY FROM in Postgres.
