in reply to Batch Loading of data through DBI
mysqldump generates the following ...
LOCK TABLES makes WRITE;
INSERT INTO makes VALUES (1,'Acura'),(2,'Alfa Romeo'),(3,'Aston Martin'),(4,'Audi'),...(83,'Lifan');
UNLOCK TABLES;
I do not know if the INSERT INTO syntax is MySQL-specific or not. (The "..." is where I cut out a whole list of items.)
