Active Record Batch Import

[PJ Davis]

I have a case where i have to import a couple of thousand records with
associations into a Rails app, and this is painfully slow. There is a
gem called activerecord-import that seems like it would work, but
doesn't appear to support associations. Does anybody know of a gem or
plugin that could help with this?

Import from like a CSV?

In my experience it's best not to import large amounts of data with AR if you're concerned about speed. Of course it presents problems if you need to run validations, add associated data, etc. Seems like you have to give something up, just a matter of what.
