I 100% agree with this state
I agree with you that there should be an option as to whether to insert
any if some fail. I was thinking of an instance where the user gets
500,000 rows of incomplete data and wants to put in anything that
conforms to validation. This was a scenario that I specifically
experienced. Sometimes

I'm still not convinced that a workaround like this is the right wayto solve these 'bulk load' / ETL scenarios. Why not use your
database's import tools or some really lightweight SQL wrappers?While the 'insert' method is more universal, I agree that it's often smarter to use the vendor tools. F

Attached is a patch with the following API change for
ActiveRecord::Base.create.
Currently ActiveRecord::Base.create takes either a hash of attributes or
