Inserting data into a table doesn't have to be restricted to one row at a time. You can insert multiple rows in a single statement.
SQL Used
Inserting multiple rows in a single statement:
INSERT INTO <table> (<column 1>, <column 2>, ...)
VALUES
(<value 1>, <value 2>, ...),
(<value 1>, <value 2>, ...),
(<value 1>, <value 2>, ...);
Examples:
INSERT INTO users (username, first_name, last_name)
VALUES
("chalkers", "Andrew", "Chalkley"),
("ScRiPtKiDdIe", "Kenneth", "Love");
INSERT INTO movies (title, genre, year_released)
VALUES
("Starman", "Science Fiction", 1984),
("Moulin Rouge!", "Musical", 2001);
