Insert New Record(more than 100) using Batch class.

Hi, I am getting problem to insert records into custom object's fields using batch class.

Scenario is user input's fields value (more than 100) and I stored into list variable (sqrList) now I want to insert that list variable (sqrList) data using batch execute method but from start method what I have to pass. There is no error but record is not inserted into object.

Please help me.

Can you please post whole code? there is no insert statement I can see in your code right now.
Ashok RathvaAshok Rathva
I have passed that sqrList value into batch execute method.
global virtual void execute(Database.BatchableContext BC, List<SObject> scope) {
         
            insert sqrList;

}

Hi @Nayana K
I want to convert above method into apex batch class to insert responses given by users Its more than 100 so DML governor limit error throws.

This one is Original Code with normal insert call on submit method when submit button click.
