If i create in memory a hundred or so instances of a model, how do i go about saving them to the database.
I have a Task Model
and say I have an array of Task obects
@tasks = [...]
how do i save them

@tasks.each do |task| task.save end ?

What you can do is use the Model#create class method. You will have to instantiate hashes of properties instead of model objects, though. Like:
tasks = [{:name => 'Go shopping', :date => Time.now},{:name => 'Get a haircut' => 1.day.from_now}] #etc Task.create(tasks)
