Re: Bulk import of data

heya,

Hmm, I was previously under the impression that for these sorts of things (importing and instantiating models from CSV), the recommended way to create a ModelForm, and pass each line of the CSV through that, and have that handle model validation for you.

In our case, we have a CSV file, but quite a few of those lines are probably invalid/erroneous - we need to provide useful messages on those, and import the rest of the file.

Is the recommended way now to use bulk_create (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/querysets/#bulk-create), process all the lines, and hit that in one call?

How would you handle invalid lines or validation errors for individual rows?

Cheers,

Victor
