Perhaps (though I still don't see why you would store them), but that 
doesn't have anything to do with what was being discussed: storing 
invalid card numbers along with customers records.

Agreed that the import could use a refactor along these lines.  It 
should accept the upload file and the process it as a job, with a 
progress bar, etc.

This is not a database restore operation, nor was it intended for "very 
large" datasets.
