LC Server - MySQL - update about 2000 rows/records of a table

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami]

Ditto what Mike said: 

" On mysql..  can't you prebuild your multi-command transaction in a variable"

I periodically do this kind of thing. assuming the transaction is exactly the same… one way is to build a single SQL query from your data.

Assume you need something like this, getting and SQL query into a string, from raw data with LC's text processing tools is easy:

INSERT INTO `mytable` (item,quantity,amount)
VALUES
('Oranges',3,5.00)
('Apples',10,6.00)
#etc..
#(no problem doing 2000 of these)
;

and then do the insert as a single query/transaction and let the dBase handle it.
