SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1390 Prepared statement contains too many placeholders

[stebogit]

Hey @yadakhov I guess I pushed too hard insert-on-duplicate-key, cause apparently I hit the limit of MySQL. 😅
I'm just posting this here mainly for maybe somebody else who could get carried away with fast bulk insert/updates like me.

I tried to insert ~5,800 rows of 32 columns at once and I got the above error. It seems it's due to the place holders limit of MySQL.

Don't know if you want to, but basically I believe it's possible to fix this limiting the length of the inline $data array generating the SQL statement. You could split the array and iterate through it in slots of less than ~65,000 placeholders, or maybe simply raise an Exception for "too much data". It seems in fact Eloquent (v5.5 in my case) somehow fails to raise an appropriate Exception and keeps trying forever.

BTW I fixed the issue limiting my data to ~2,000 rows and it works great, super fast! 🚀

Thanks for submitting your error.

I will add an exception telling users to array chunks their large array if it is over the mysql placeholder limits of 65,535.

Help me to Solve this please

You can break your data into smaller chunks. Something like:

// break data into max size of 200
$chunks = array_chunk($data, 200);

foreach ($chunks as $chunk) {
    // Do insert here
}
