[wp-hackers] best route for adding links?

[Andy Charrington-Wilden]

Surely getting all links in the db once, sticking them in an array and checking if !in_array would be quicker? If a link is to be added (ie it's not in the array) rather than querying the db again for the next one just add it to the array and do the check on the next one in the csv. In fact you could just add the links that are not already present to another array and then run one insert query built from that array. Only two database interactions for the whole thing. That's what I'd do anyway.
