Batch for ActiveRecord

[g8d3]

Would it be possible to add a batch method for ActiveRecord:

Model.upsert do |u|
  # N times
  u.row attr1: val1
end

And detect created_at and updated_at, so you do not have to write:

now = Time.now
u.row attr1: val1, created_at: now, updated_at: now

Looks like this is already open in #33 ?

The second portion is, the first is a new feature request.

This feature should be implemented, it will make the batch upsert slow. The whole point of batch upsert is speed. If it has to work like ActiveRecord, then why just active record, there are many other gems like HistoryTracker and all which override ActiveRecord, it should work with them too then? See the whole point of batch insert is to use a ruby driver and make a direct query. Just my suggestion.
