is there a limit to the number of elements one can put in a createMany call?

Ive not tried it, Im guessing it depends on how large each item is and the amount of memory on the machine

@iamtheworstdev 👋 Are you facing any issue while putting a large number of items?

actually haven't tried it yet. wrote a lot of data loading code before I found the createMany api. but I expected to see something like 'soft limited to 1000 items' or something in the docs and didn't see it.. thought maybe there was a limit and it was just forgotten about in the docs.. didn't want to play a guessing game of how many was permitted when i get around to rewriting my database seeding

I don’t think there is. You could try adding a 1000 records and that should complete easily.

just for posterity, I generated an array 1,000,000 items long, filled it with a single key value and it inserted with no issues

if I'm reading the docs right.. the updateMany is not an upsert.. it's just a normal update statement ?

Yes

updateMany

is just

update

but for multiple items. Upsert is different, it creates the item if doesn’t exist or updates it if it does.
