I can’t seem to do a batchInsert for a List<T> because batchInsert will only accept a List<Any>. Anyone else with that issue?

You could iterate through any collection within a transaction and insert each, all item would be batch-inserted together

I never tried batchInsert though

@runjorel, batchInsert accepts typed list, not List<Any>. How do you use it?

[runjorel]

I’ve got a feeling it was because I was programming something inside a generic interface. something akin to this:

interface CrudRepository<T, ID>{
   val table: IdTable<ID>
....
fun saveAll(entities: List<T>) ...
   table.batchInsert( entities ){ .. }  // where I was getting compiler error for List<Any>

[runjorel]

I could only fix it via casts

Try to use:
interface CrudRepository<T:Any, ID>{
