Hi guys, I’m new with RoR, and so far I’m loving it. I got a question: ¿How is the most efficient way to insert 1000 records on the same table? I’m trying to insert allot of “items” on the same table, but, right now I’m creating an “item” object, with the data, and then call item.save. ¿Is there any other way to do this more efficiently? P.S: I don’t need validation, etc… Thanks for all, 🙂 ---
