How to bulk create multiple discussions?

Hi,
I need to create about 8000 discussions for a stock message board. There will be 1 discussion for each stock symbol.
I was looking at the MySQL tables to try and figure out how to do this and it seems simple enough.
Do I just need to update the 'GDN_Discussion' table with a new row for each new discussion I want to add? I can create the .SQL script with the simple insert statements to do this but I wanted to check with the more experienced users to see if this will get the job done.
Is this all I need to do to bulk create discussions - i.e. insert a new row into the 'GDN_Discussion' table?
P.S. I will be using PHPMyAdmin and a fresh installation of Vanilla for this task.
Thanks for the help.

One way to do this is to create a PHP script that instantiates DiscussionModel() from Vanilla and then uses it to create discussions from data that you input through an array.
