Efficient way to bulk insert with get_or_create() in Django (SQL, Python, Django)

Question

Is there a more efficient way for doing this?

for item in item_list:
    e, new = Entry.objects.get_or_create(
        field1 = item.field1,
        field2 =         


        

Answer 1

Depends on what you are aiming at. You can use manage.py's loaddata function to load data in a appropriate format (JSON, XML, YAML,...).
