Hi James, INSERT INTO table (a,b,c) VALUES (1,2,3),(4,5,6);
is an example of inserting multiple rows with one insert statement, instead of these 2: INSERT INTO table (a,b,c) VALUES (1,2,3); INSERT INTO table (a,b,c) VALUES (4,5,6); That should give you enough to work with. -Sheeri On 12/8/05, James Black <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > In the manual (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/insert.html) I saw > this snippet: If you use an INSERT ...
