Question

currently i have 16k rows of data in an array, i am using a for loop to loop through the data and excute an INSERT statement. In other words, each loop executes an “INSERT” statement in mysql. This is done 16000 times. This take a long time.

is there a better way to inset bulk data?.

Answer 1

You can try this as per post by Pascal MARTIN:

insert into your_table (field1, field2, field3)
values 
  (value1_1, value1_2, value1_3), 
  (value2_1, value2_2, value2_3), 
  (value3_1, value3_2, value3_3)
