AR is so well thought out and designed, this seems like a core feature that is just simply missing.
Since you are looking for speed to the point where you are sacrificing validations, and pretty much anything else vaguely active-record-ish, beyond getting the table name and establishing the DB connection, this functionality is at a distance from what ActiveRecord's core (which is surely being an ORM). That said, I think providing an 'import' method as a plugin would certainly be useful to some people (especially those too lazy to connect to a database by hand). Another thing to do might be reworking it to use prepared statements, for an even bigger speed increase. - james -- * J * ~ _______________________________________________ Rails-core mailing list Rails-core@lists.rubyonrails.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-core
