MySQL Insert with While Loop

Question

I\'m trying to create a bunch of records in my MySQL database. This is a one time creation so I am not trying to create a stored procedure. Here is my code:

Answer 1

drop procedure if exists doWhile;
DELIMITER //  
CREATE PROCEDURE doWhile()   
BEGIN
DECLARE i INT DEFAULT 2376921001; 
WHILE (i <= 237692200) DO
    INSERT INTO `mytable` (code, active, total) values (i, 1, 1);
    SET i = i+1;
END WHILE;
END;
//  

CALL doWhile();
