Dimitry helped us come up with a SQL query to gang in a ConXref for a particular constituent to everything in an object package. The only restriction is that you have to know the display order in advance and it must be consistent across all the object records. This might keep it from being usable for you. If anyone wants it I would be happy to send it out.

Ha, yes, I've learned a few SQL lessons the hard way!

David,
I have successfully inserted constituent links between objects and even media records using SQL, but you have to be very CAREFUL and there must be consistency concerning display order (among other things) in the records you are batch updating this way. It can be done, but is you must be super methodical!

Subject: Adding Constituents to an Object using SQL
I've used the TMS Bulk Importer to migrate legacy records from our Catalog and from our Digital Gallery into TMS. This has worked pretty well, as I'm dealing with several 10s of thousands of records. However, you can only put one Constituent in that way. I've been able to write SQL to map other data which isn't accommodated by the Bulk Importer, but the relationships between Objects & Constituents tables is impossibly complex to me. If I upload a table AddConstit with ConstituentID, ObjectID, and RoleID, how do I actually attach the name to the object? Any SQL masters out there?
Thanks in advance,
