To insert data into an SQL database, you use the INSERT INTO statement. This statement allows you to add new records to a table. The basic syntax is as follows:
INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2, column3, ...)
VALUES (value1, value2, value3, ...);
Explanation:
table_name: The name of the table where you want to insert data.column1, column2, column3, ...: The names of the columns in which you want to insert data.value1, value2, value3, ...: The values you want to insert into the respective columns.Example:
Suppose you have a table named employees with columns id, first_name, last_name, and email. To insert a new employee record, you would use:
INSERT INTO employees (id, first_name, last_name, email)
VALUES (1, 'John', 'Doe', 'john.doe@example.com');
This command adds a new row to the employees table with the specified values.
