And how is this to work for an excess of 1000 items...

manually adding 1000 items means generating them instead of typing them.

What do you mean about item ? item could be database schema or database data. Which of them do you mean ?

Since this is your first post here I'll go easy.

INSERT INTO table (column1, column2, ...) VALUES(value1, value2, ...)

However, this question could easily have been answered with a very brief Google search.

I wonder what "manually adding 1000 items" really means if the OP isn't aware of INSERT.

Probably using management studio or such tool and entering manually into a grid display of some kind.
