bulk insert fails? or bulk insert does not return a list of IDs? i assert that bulk insert does indeed work (at least for me 1.99.4), but that it does not return a list of IDs.
google provides no way to see the IDs it has assigned in a bulk insert unless you have specified the IDs yourself (which i don't think that the web2py DAL supports at this time). i could be wrong - if you see in the google docs that they do return a list of IDs i'm happy to help with a patch! cfh
