hi! I’m using rails 2.3.2 with ar-extensions 0.9.1 (mysql 5)

I’m trying to use the import() method on one of my AR models and it  
works but it still runs a single insert query for each record. Oddly,  
MyModel.supports\_import? returns false even though that value seems to  
be hard coded … ? [1]

does the db table type make a difference?
