To insert multiple rows using the multirow VALUES syntax:

INSERT INTO films (code, title, did, date_prod, kind) VALUES
     ('B6717', 'Tampopo', 110, '1985-02-10', 'Comedy'),
     ('HG120', 'The Dinner Game', 140, DEFAULT, 'Comedy');

so:

INSERT INTO "Lookup"." CNEnum1"(" Id","Description")
VALUES (1::integer,'Desc1'::varchar) ,(2::ineger,''Desc2'::varchar);
