INSERT INTO
The INSERT INTO statement is used to insert the record in the table.
There are two possible ways to write INSERT INTO syntax:
1. Define the column’s name and values together.
Syntax –
INSERT INTO table_name (Column_name1, Column_name2, Column_name3,…)
VALUES (value1, value2, value3,……);
2. We don’t need to define a column’s name with values if we mention values for all columns but make sure that value should be mentioned in the same order as the column’s name order is defined.
INSERT INTO table_name
VALUES (value1, value2, value3,……);
Example Database
Below is the example of a database table named “details.”
Id | Name | Class | section_id |
1 | Alex | 5 | 1 |
2 | Rolex | 6 | 2 |
3 | Salex | 7 | 2 |
4 | Lelex | 8 | 3 |
5 | Kelex | 9 | 5 |
