efficient bulk update rails database

Question

I\'m trying to build a rake utility that will update my database every so often.

This is the code I have so far:

namespace :utils do

  # utils:updat         


        

Answer 1

You could generate a text file with all INSERTs you need and then execute:

mysql -u user -p db_name < mytextfile.txt

Not sure if this will be any faster but worth a try...
