Subject: Re: Ruby DBI

well i just droped 1000 sql statements on my database via DBI in one fell 
swoop. finished in less than a second. think that's good engouh for me :-)

so unless anyone knows for sure that other DBDs/databases won't hack it looks 
like the way to go. the only advantage i could see to prepared statements is 
that the gsub of the parameters might be faster than building the sql myself. 
is DBI c code? guess i can check, thought it was pure ruby myself, in which 
case it won't make much difference and i'm probably getting better execution 
dropping all the statements at once. perhaps its just postgresql though. you 
can use psql cli tool and drop a file of sql statments into it to be 
executed. same principle.
