SQLPLUS multiple data entry. Very easy question for experts.

Question

Hi sorry to bother you again but is it the same method as in MySQL to enter multiple data at once?
I am trying to save time by entering all the contents of a table all at once,
For example;
INSERT INTO Borrower (BorId, BorName, BorMaxBooks) VALUES (
(001, 'Bob', 4),
(002, 'James', 5),
(003, 'Dave', 6);
Please can you tell me where I cam going wrong and I promise I will shut up and go away.
Thanks.

SQL> create table T

  3  BorName varchar2(64),
  4  BorMaxBooks number)
  5  /
Table created
SQL> insert into t
  2  select '001', 'Bob', 4 from dual
  3  union all
  4  select '002', 'James', 5 from dual
  5  union all
  6  select '003', 'Dave', 6 from dual
  7  /
3 rows inserted
SQL> select * from t
  2  /
BORID                                                            BORNAME                                                          BORMAXBOOKS
001                                                              Bob                                                                        4
