Inserting values into all columns of a row

You can insert values into all the columns of a row using the INSERT statement in Interactive SQL.

Prerequisites

Type the values in the same order as the column names in the original CREATE TABLE statement, that is, first the ID number, then the name, then the department head ID.

Surround the values by parentheses.

Enclose all character data in single quotes.

Use a separate insert statement for each row you add.

Context and remarks

Results

The specified values are inserted into each column of a new row.
