insert multiple rows into mysql through node.js

Question

I want to insert multiple rows into mysql thru node.js mysql module. The data I have is

var data = [{'test':'test1'},{'test':'test2'}];

I am using pool

 pool.getConnection(function(err, connection) {
     connection.query('INSERT INTO '+TABLE+' SET ?', data,   function(err, result) {
          if (err) throw err;
            else {
                console.log('successfully added to DB');
                connection.release();
            }
      });
 });
}

which fails.

Is there a way for me to have a bulk insertion and call a function when all insertion finishes?

Answer 1

You can insert multiple rows into mysql using nested arrays. You can see the answer from this post: How do I do a bulk insert in mySQL using node.js

Answer 2

You can try this approach as well

lets say that mytable includes the following columns: name, email

var inserts = [];
inserts.push(['name1', 'email1']);
inserts.push(['name2', 'email2']);
conn.query({
sql: 'INSERT into mytable (name, email) VALUES ?',
values: [inserts]
});

This should work
