Well, if you have to do lots of typing anyway, why you don't you stick it into
a text file, say delimited using '|' marks, and then just use the "copy"
command in postgreSQL to populate the table. Then create indices on the table,
and you are good to go.
That's what I do. (In fact, I write little shell scripts to speed up the
process, and redo the work in case I ever feel like dropping and recreating the
table. After you write one shell script, modifying it to handle other tables
is easy.)
Moreover the pg manual says it's very fast to use "copy" to populate your
table.
