How to generate/import hundreds of coupons?

I need to have hundreds or thousands of coupons. Ho can i generate or import (even better) them?
If i will need to do it manually i'll probably will get old before i'll do that

so if i need to have a thousand coupons 00007,00008,00009,00010,00011 ... 01007 HikaSerial will do that for me?

sorry, but it seems that it is something i don't need. I don't mind to pay for HikaSerial, but it just isn't what i need. I just need the possibility to generate a number of codes, shoose codes format and coupons options. Maybe i can use INSERT INTO function and add all coupons directly to database throught phpmyadmin?

i just run SQL guery on my datadase:

INSERT INTO qdvsk_hikashop_discount(discount_type, discount_percent_amount, discount_code, discount_published, discount_currency_id, discount_coupon_nodoubling, discount_coupon_product_only, discount_affiliate)VALUES( 'coupon','30','888','1','91','0','0','-1');

and it seems that did the trick. My coupon is ready to use. Now i need somehow to generate as many these queries as i need coupons, i think i'll use MS Access for that, because codes i already have in my excel table.

export excel table to csv, and there are doesn't of simple ways to script your import a csv to your table --
the most rudimentary would be a script to generate your sql insert statements from the csv.

perl, php, ruby, even a shell script could be used to create your sql insert statements.

ruby has some nice gems to make connecting to the db, and processing csv fairly simple. I have to do this -- and i"m going to use ruby -- I'll post my script here for the benefit of the community. As it looks like this is a fairly common request with things like groupon, etc.
