Insert JObject list to SQL Server with dapper

I need to insert the result of my JObject to an SQL Database. However it keeps saying I'm not allowed to insert arrays, lists?

What am I doing wrong?

This is what I got so far: 

JArray jsonArray = JArray.Parse(sb.ToString());

var jsonObjects = jsonArray.OfType<JObject>().ToList();

     using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(connectionstring))
         {                    
             connection.Open();
             connection.Execute(@"Insert into dbo.JsonMeta values(@meta)", jsonObjects);                   
         }

Result of jsonObjects:

Count: 57000 rows

row[0] looks like this:

This question probably needs more context, at the moment we don't know what your database is or looks like.

For example are you using MySQL and trying to store just the JSON as a string? Or are you trying to store the JSON object into a table the has the same number of columns?

JArray jsonArray = JArray.Parse(sb.ToString());
var sb = new StringBuild("Insert into dbo.JsonMeta values");
for(int i =0; i < jsonArray.Length; i++)
{
  sb.AppendLine($"(@meta{i}),");
}
using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(connectionstring))
{                    
  connection.Open();
  connection.Execute(sb.ToString().TrimEnd(','), jsonArray.OfType<JObject>().Select(item => item.ToStirng()).ToArray());                   
}

Dapper.Contrib supports insertion of a list of items.

connection.Insert(jsonObjects);

Of course, you would have to provide an appropriate DTO. I'm not sure that JObject qualifies.
