How do I perform a batch insert in Django?

Question

In mysql, you can insert multiple rows to a table in one query for n > 0:

INSERT INTO tbl_name (a,b,c) VALUES(1,2,3),(4,5,6),(7,8,9), ..., (n-2, n-1, n);

You might get the performance you need by doing manual transactions. What this will allow you to do is to create all the inserts in one transaction, then commit the transaction all at once. Hopefully this will help you: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/db/transactions/
