Feature Request: Bulk Insert on Fixtures (loaddata)

[Brad Ruderman]

Hi Django Devs-

Per the feature request documentation: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/contributing/bugs-and-features/#requesting-features

I wanted to request the feature that when running (for example):

python manage.py loaddata data.json 

That it performs a bulk load instead of individual transactions. The reason I am requesting this feature is when using PaaS vendors (like Heroku/ClearData) they restrict your number of queries per hour on free development tiers thus when you try load your data, it usually hits that capacity quite quickly. On the free tier for ClearData, its only 3k per hour queries.

Thanks,

Brad

Patches welcome I'd say, the only issue I see is that we loose the ability to provide good information which object caused the bulk_create to fail; any ideas on that?

Cheers,
Florian
