There are a number of ways of doing this, depending on whether you already have data and in what form. The product SQL*Loader can handle a variety of formats from text files. You can use SQL*Plus and a bunch of insert statements like insert into yourtable values ('1','2','3');. You can use utilities like perl and frontends of various sorts. There is an embarrassment of riches. So, to get a decent answer, you must state what you have and what you want to do with it.
