Sorry I can't give you a manual reference - my ISP/MySQL's site aren't
playing like nice children at the moment!?
However if you look at the template for the INSERT command notice that
after the VALUES clause there is an ellipsis - something like:
VALUES(expression [,expression]...) [,(expression, etc)...]
thus you can add as many rows' worth of data as you like - each row
within its own set of parentheses:
insert into mytable (id,name,job_number,job_date) values
('1','Mark','AA1','2002-04-15'),
('2','Mark','AA2','2002-04-16'),
('3','Mark','AA3','2002-04-17')
NB please double check my syntax/memory.
