I can't recommend a GUI data entry tool but the way I would do it is to use a spreadsheet and save out as Tab-delimited format. Depending on the data I might also rustle up a Perl program to create the data automatically. I would then use LOAD DATA INFILE statement or mysqlimport to get the data into my tables. These methods are extremely quick for inserts and will disable key updating etc. Regards, Imran -- http://www.ImranChaudhry.info MySQL Database Management & Design Services -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
