C++ Insert into MySQl database - c++

Question

I have one application in c++ and i'm using the C++ Mysql Connector (https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/cpp/)
I need to save some logs inside one table.Depending on the times I may have large amounts of data on the order of thousands (for example, 80,000).
I already implement a function that iterate my std::vector<std::string> and save the std::string to my database.
For example:
std::vector<std::string> lines = explode(filedata, '\n');
for (int i = 0; i < lines.size(); i++)
{
std::vector<std::string> elements = explode(lines[i], ';');
ui64 timestamp = strtol(elements.at(0).c_str(), 0, 10);
std::string pointId = elements.at(6);
std::string pointName = elements.at(5);
std::string data = elements.at(3);
database->SetLogs(timestamp, pointId, pointName, data);
}
The logs come from csv file, i save all fields to my vector. After this i parse the vector (with explode) and get only the fields that i need to save.
But i have a problem. If i have e.g 80,000 i'm calling my function to save in database 80,000. It works and save correctly all data but it takes a lot of time.
Exists some way to save all data only calling one time the function to save without calling e.g 80,000 and thus optimize the time?
EDIT 1
I change the insert code to this:
std::string insertLog = "INSERT INTO Logs (timestamp,pointId,pointName,data) VALUES (?,?,?,?)";
pstmt->setString(1, timestampString);
pstmt->setString(2, pointId);
pstmt->setString(3, pointName);
pstmt->setString(4, data);
pstmt->executeUpdate();

You could change the code to do bulk inserts, rather than insert one row at a time.
I would recommend doing it by generating an insert statement as a string and passing the string to mysqlpp::Query. I expect you can use a prepared statement to do bulk inserts in a similar way.
If you do an insert statement for each row (which I assume the case here using explode()), I think there's a lot more traffic between the client and the server, which must slow things down.
EDIT
I doubt the function explode() for increasing the execution time as you are accessing the file twice when you call explode twice. It would be nice if you can produce the code for explode().
