You have to use a SQL statement of some kind. You might want to use approach
1, but write a single INSERT statement that loads multiple rows.
INSERT INTO tbl_name (col_names
VALUES
(values for row 1),
(values for row 2),
(values for row 3),
etc.
This is much more efficient than a set of single-row INSERTs.
