Insert Multiple Documents
You can insert multiple documents using the
collection.insertMany() method. The insertMany()
takes an array
of documents to insert into the specified collection.
You can specify more options in the options
object passed as the
second parameter of the insertMany()
method. Specify ordered:true
to prevent inserting the remaining documents if the insertion failed for a
previous document in the array.
Specifying incorrect parameters for your insertMany()
operation can
cause problems. Attempting to insert a field with a value that violates
unique index rules results in a duplicate key error
.
