Create many records without reading their ids

Runs the sample. Generated for this page; it reads the connection string from the environment.

using ArxSamples.MSSQL;
using ArxSamples.MSSQL.Operations.CreateMultiple.Basics;

// The connection string comes from the environment, never from the code (see "Configure the connection").
var connectionString = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("ARX_SAMPLES_SQLSERVER")
    ?? throw new InvalidOperationException("Set the ARX_SAMPLES_SQLSERVER environment variable to your SQL Server connection string.");

await new Basic3_WithoutIds().RunAsync(new SampleContext(connectionString));

What every sample is given: the connection string (and the ISample interface the samples implement).

How the samples print: Step for each scenario, Show for what it did, ShowError for an error caught on purpose.
