ill be back
When i needed to insert 10's of K records across a network interface i found the above method still too slow since there was an overhead for each sql call.
so i went with something like this instead.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use warnings;
use strict;
use DBI;
use Data::Dumper;
use POSIX qw( strftime );
my $database = 'db_name';
my $db_user = 'user';
my $db_password = 'pwd';
my $db_hostname = 'db_hostname';
my $dbh2 = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:database=$database:host=$db_hostnam
+e",$db_user,$db_password,
{ RaiseError => 1, AutoCommit => 1, mysql_auto_reconnect => 1 } #
+Added AutoCommit => 1, mysql_auto_reconnect => 1 while trying to make
+ it work
);
die "unable to connect to server $DBI::errstr" unless $dbh2;
my $sql2_1000 = q^
INSERT INTO table_name (col_1, col_2, col_3, col_4, col_5)
VALUES ^;
$sql2_1000.=' (?,?,?,?,?) 'x1000;
my $sth2_1000 = $dbh2->prepare($sql2_1000);
my $grp=0;
$dbh2->begin_work;
my @list=();
while(my @row = $sth1->fetchrow_array){
$grp++;
if ($grp>1000) {
$dbh2->commit;
$dbh2->begin_work;
$sth2_1000->execute(@list);
$grp=1;
@list=(); # edit/add
}
unless ($row[3]) {$row[3]=undef;}
push @list,$row[0],$row[1],$row[2],$row[3],$row[4];
}
$dbh2->commit;
my $sql2_n = q^
INSERT INTO table_name (col_1, col_2, col_3, col_4, col_5)
VALUES ^;
my $n=scalar(@list)/5;
$sql2_n.=' (?,?,?,?,?) ' x $n;
my $sth2_n = $dbh2->prepare($sql2_n);
$dbh2->begin_work;
$sth2_n->execute(@list);
$dbh2->commit;
$sth1->finish();
$dbh2->disconnect();
notice the batching of rows per sql call, and the final creation of a insert of the exact length.
Both of these are untested code for example sake only, your mileage may vary.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>

Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
