Yes is you do it within the shell you better commit every 100 records
depending of the size of the record, but since it just a single column and
integer you can commit even every 500-1000 records I guess without issue...
To do so you can use this snippet :
for i, r in enumerate(db.select()):
db.table.insert(something)
if i % 100 == 0:
db.commit()
