I have just started playing around with MySQLdb for a project I am planning.
As a test I have written a script that executes 3000 insert statements
on a table. The table contains 10 fields with a mix of text and numbers
- its a product table for a website eg UPC, ProductName, Price etc.
The problem I have is that it takes just over two minuted to execute the
3000 insert statements which seems really slow! I am running it on a
machine with a 1.5 Ghz Pentium M Processor and Gig Of Ram. I dont think
the machine is to blame for the speed because during execution the
processor sits at about 10% and there is loads of free RAM.
   

I think a better option is to have the rows in a text file and then
use `mysqlimport` or 'load data infile' SQL[1]

I remember using that a while ago when I dabbled with mysql so I think 
thats a potential solution. With my current solution I get full error 
logging with each row i try to insert. Will mysqlimport fail completeley 
if one row fails?
