hello All

I am trying to create a table using rails migrations. after creating  
the table i want to move data from one table to newly created table.  
everything seems to be working fine… only issue is speed of moving  
data.

Abc.find(:all).each do |a|

```
  xyz.new do |x|
          xyz.id = a.id
         xyz.save
  end

```

end

i have over 200,000 rows in my table… and it is very slow…

is there a better way to move data quickly?

Please advice…

Cheers

Ajit
