⟩ How To Insert Multiple Rows with One INSERT Statement in Oracle?
If you want to insert multiple rows with a single INSERT statement, you can use a subquery instead of the VALUES clause. Rows returned from the subquery will be inserted the target table.
The following tutorial exercise gives a good example:
INSERT INTO ggl_links
SELECT department_id, department_name||'.com', NULL, NULL,
SYSDATE FROM departments WHERE department_id >= 250;
3 row created.
SELECT * FROM ggl_links;
