Folks,
say I have a need to add multiple rows at the same time.

for instance, say I'm collecting customer information and I want to add 3
addresses and 3 phone numbers at the same time for a customer.

The above is quite straightforward to accomplish when there is only one set
of data to deal with (one address / one phone number) - with simple data
types passed in as parameters.

What alternatives / options do I have to accomplish storing multiple sets of
data?

insert into table(field1, field2, field3) values (value1, value2, value3), (value4, value5, value6);

Don't use arrays for storage, you'll lose a lot of performance.
