Insert multiple rows using one insert statement in Access 2010

Question

I want to insert multiple values into an Access 2010 table, but I can\'t seem to find a way.
MySQL had a nice way:

INSERT INTO Production.UnitMeasure
VAL         


        

Answer 1

Create a table called OneRow with a single integer column. Insert one row.

Then:

INSERT INTO Production.UnitMeasure
SELECT 'FT2', 'Square Feet ', '20080923' FROM OneRow
UNION ALL SELECT 'Y', 'Yards', '20080923' FROM OneRow
UNION ALL SELECT 'Y3', 'Cubic Yards', '20080923' FROM OneRow

Your exact syntax works on SQL Server 2008. For earlier use my above query without the FROM clauses and no helper table.
