mongo.insert.batch: Add multiple records to a collection

In jonkatz2/rmongodb: R-MongoDB driver

Description

Add multiple records to a collection. This function eliminates some network traffic and server overhead by sending all the records in a single message.

Usage

mongo.insert.batch(mongo, ns, lst)

Arguments

mongo	(mongo) a mongo connection object.
ns	(string) namespace of the collection to which to add the record.
lst	A list of (mongo.bson) records to add.

Details

See http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Inserting.

Value

TRUE if the command was successfully sent to the server; otherwise, FALSE.

mongo.get.last.err() may be examined to verify that the insert was successful on the server if necessary.
