The syntax is described in the manual, but not with an explicit
example. One of the user comments gives an exaple.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/insert.html
INSERT INTO mytable (f1,f2,f3) VALUES (1,2,3),(4,5,6),(7,8,9);
will insert three rows. Just tack as many ,(...) clauses on the end as
you want.
