Question

I have a listview that can contain up to roughly 2,000 listview items
I need to loop through the listview and insert each item into a mysql database

is there a better, bulk way, to insert the data instead of doing an insert for each item like follows:

for each itm ...
  insert into whatever ( id ) values ( itm.text ) ...
next

Thanks

You could build up a file containing the changes and then use the ‘LOAD DATA INFILE‘ functionality –
