Not with the current implementation of insert. There's been some
discussion of adding the multiple tuple insert seen in other databases,
but I don't think anyone's actually done it or even agreed on exactly how
to do it. I'm not sure if SQL 3 covers this, it seems like it hints at
it, but I can't read that stuff all that well most of the time.
I don't think there's a way right now though, without using some form of
copy.
