Where do these new rows of data come from? You are able to use Toad to load data into a table from Excel, for example. You can also set up a SQLLoader control file, within Toad, to load the data from something like a CSV file, if that is where the data are to be found.
If yo simply have a list of names etc to insert, then you probably need a little scripting (in Windows notepad or similar) to take the list and massage it into a format that will run as an SQL command.
You are, I suspect fed up running the same command and having to fill in all the values you wish to insert?
Create a script like the following and run it using F5 rather than F9:
insert into emp (empno,ename,job,mgr)
values (1234, 'Norm', 'DBA', 'Manager name');
insert into emp (empno,ename,job,mgr)
values (1235, 'makdutakdu', 'Developer', 'Manager name');
And so on. Unfortunately you will need to build this manually - unless yo have a file that can be loaded via SQLLoader or an excel table etc that Toad can read in for you.
