How to insert data in a SQL database table

Once you have a table, you can insert data into it.

Take this table:

CREATE TABLE people (
  age INT,
  name CHAR(20)
);

You can now start adding data into it with the INSERT INTO command:

INSERT INTO people VALUES (37, 'Flavio');

You can insert multiple items separating each one with a comma:

INSERT INTO people VALUES (37, 'Flavio'), (8, 'Roger');
Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out merge vs rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up something any time you have to do something in Git? Do you rely on ChatGPT or random people’s answer on StackOverflow to fix your problems? Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to you all the time? Git is something we all need to use, but few of us really master it. I created this course to improve your Git (and GitHub) knowledge at a radical level. A course that helps you feel less frustrated with Git. Launching Summer 2024. Join the waiting list!
