Questions tagged [sql-insert]

The SQL INSERT statement allows you to insert a single or multiple rows into a table.

SQL INSERT statement adds one or more rows to a single table in a relational database.

The basic INSERT values syntax is:

INSERT INTO table [ (column1 [, column2, column3 ... ]) ]
VALUES (value1 [, value2, value3 ... ]);

The INSERT SELECT syntax is:

INSERT INTO table [ (column1 [, column2, column3 ... ]) ]
SELECT c1 [, c2, c3 ... ] FROM table
