I guess your definition of 'mass' is different to mine then :)
Maypole would probably take a week or two to mass load my data.
There's no need to 'hand craft' SQL - did you check the link?
I'm sure that my definition of mass is different, given our
respective fields (I divide my time between soical science and
ecology - don't ask), whereas you appear to be some kind of protein
dude where you do get enormous piles of data! I end up with smaller
piles of poorly structured data.
However, you are making me think about my point. In my Maypole app,
there is significant amounts of behind the scenes magic with
extracting metadata into the db. While theoretically all this
[natural language processing] could be cleanly bundled up into it's
own modules, it's easier for me to glue them all together once.
They're not going to be used anywhere else in their present form anyway.
