for example,i want to create a table with "create table test (uid int,catcode int)" and insert tuples with "insert into test values(1,1)".

What is it you're testing?
You can insert many rows into a table by doing something like the following:
CREATE TABLE test
(
test_id serial,
test_num int
test_value int
)
INSERT INTO test (test_num, test_value)
SELECT s.a, ceil(random()*100) FROM generate_series(1,1000) as s(a);
That would just put 1,000 entries into the table, the first column would get its value from its sequence, the second from the series and the third would be random.
