[python] psycopg2: insert multiple rows with one query

All of these techniques are called 'Extended Inserts" in Postgres terminology, and as of the 24th of November 2016, it's still a ton faster than psychopg2's executemany() and all the other methods listed in this thread (which i tried before coming to this answer).

Here's some code which doesnt use cur.mogrify and is nice and simply to get your head around:

valueSQL = [ '%s', '%s', '%s', ... ] # as many as you have columns.
sqlrows = []
rowsPerInsert = 3 # more means faster, but with diminishing returns..
for row in getSomeData:
        # row == [1, 'a', 'yolo', ... ]
        sqlrows += row
        if ( len(sqlrows)/len(valueSQL) ) % rowsPerInsert == 0:
                # sqlrows == [ 1, 'a', 'yolo', 2, 'b', 'swag', 3, 'c', 'selfie' ]
                insertSQL = 'INSERT INTO "twitter" VALUES ' + ','.join(['(' + ','.join(valueSQL) + ')']*rowsPerInsert)
                cur.execute(insertSQL, sqlrows)
                con.commit()
                sqlrows = []
insertSQL = 'INSERT INTO "twitter" VALUES ' + ','.join(['(' + ','.join(valueSQL) + ')']*len(sqlrows))
cur.execute(insertSQL, sqlrows)
con.commit()

But it should be noted that if you can use copy_from(), you should use copy_from ;)
