Introduction: The INSERT INTO  statement is used to insert a new row in a table. Two ways to INSERT data into a table one is to insert it one row at a time the other is to insert multiple rows at a time. The SQL INSERT INTO syntax has two main forms and the result of either of them is adding a new row into the database table. The second form of the SQL INSERT INTO command  specifies both the columns and the values to be inserted. The Other way INSERT INTO allows us to insert multiple rows into a table. Where we insert a single row by specifying its values for all columns we now use a SELECT statement to specify the data that we want to insert into the table. This method is used when table is already created in the database earlier and data is to be inserted into this table from another table. If columns listed in insert clause and select clause are same they are are not required to list them.

  • Two way to insert into used on a table:
  • The first way is

  • Syntex:

          INSERT INTO Table1
        VALUES (value1, value2, value3…)

  • The second way is:
  • Syntex:

          INSERT INTO Table1 (Column1, Column2, Column3…)
        VALUES (Value1, Value2, Value3…)

  • Example:
    INSERT
    INTO Customers
    VALUES
    ('Peter', 'Hunt', 'peter.hunt@tgmail.net', '1/1/1974', '626 888-8888')
Summary: Thai is the simple example that show how to insert the values on particular table. In this query we have simple insert the data on the Customers table.
