I don't want to use the reset method for my ManagedObjectContext. I only need to remove all of the objects for a specific entity, but I don't see any methods for doing this. Selecting all of the objects for a specific entity and looping over each and deleting them works, but it's very slow.

At any rate, my problem is that I had no idea what I had to do to create a… >>> More
