ActiveRecord::Optimizations 0.0.2

July 20th, 11:27pm, Zach Dennis

This includes some of the optimizations for the ActiveRecord::Base. This release only supports the MysqlAdapter, although other adapters will be supported in upcoming releases.

HOW-TO USAGE

Require the two files in the lib/ directory and then create records using: Model.create array_of_hashes

Example: class LogEntry < ActiveRecord::Base ; end LogEntry.import [ { :log_entry_name=>”Name” }, {:log_entry_name=>”Name2”}, ... ], :optimize=>true

Using the optimized create method will return the number of inserts performed, rather then an array of LogEntry objects. This currently skips model validation.

CHANGELOG

0.0.2 – add some documentation to the updated methods for ActiveRecord and MysqlAdapter – renamed the create optimizatin to import. Multi-value inserts can be obtained using ActiveRecord::Base.import 0.0.1 – introduced updates to ActiveRecord::Base.create to support multi-value inserts

UPCOMING

- model validation on imports – postgresql support for imports – ability to use regular expressions for db searches – ability to use db functions – temporary table support – memory table support – complex update with on duplicate key update support
