Bruce,
It also depends on where the data is coming FROM as to what your options
are. Is the source data coming from another table (like, maybe from a bulk
import?) or from some kind of user input?
You CAN write it in one statement but I need to know your data source.
Yours,

INSERT INTO takes a single table arg, so to insert int o2 tables,you need
editable Views (not yet in MySQL) or at least Stored Procedures (MySQL
version 5) on the server side, or you can, as you suggest, do it in the
app.
