Is there a way to set foreign key on a bulk insert?

Apologies if this is a stupid question but I need to know if I'm missing something obvious. I have two tables where the second one has a foreign key relationship to the other, standard master/detail setup. After I insert the master records, call the entity Pool I return the new id and then I loop through an array of detail records and set that foreign key pool_id to the newly acquired id and then do a batch insert of those detail records PoolTeam like so
async createPoolTeamPlayers(input: CreatePoolTeamPlayer[]): Promise<void> {
await db.insert(pool_team_player).values(input)
}
async createPoolTeamPlayers(input: CreatePoolTeamPlayer[]): Promise<void> {
await db.insert(pool_team_player).values(input)
}
Is there any way I can specify the master record id in this insert statement without having to previous loop through the array setting the pool_id property? It it possible to do this master/detail insert in a single call with Drizzle? It works the way I have it but just seems wrong to do it this way.

Each drizzle call represents one SQL query and you need one insert per table, so I don't think you can do this in a single call. The way you're doing it seems optimal to me, and looping through the array to set the master id can be done quite concisely in js
