How can we add values into the columns of a MySQL table?

INSERT command is used to add values to the columns of a MySQL table. We need to specify the values in INSERT command for all the columns as follows −

Syntax

INSERT INTO table_name values(value1,value2,…)

Example

Suppose we have a table named ‘Stock’ with three columns ‘Item_id’, ‘Item_name’ and ‘Item_rate’ then with the help of following query we can add values in these columns.

mysql> INSERT INTO Stock values(1,'HistoryBook',250);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.07 sec)

mysql> INSERT INTO Stock values(2,'DBMSBook',280);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec)

mysql> Select * from Stock;
+---------+-------------+-----------+
| item_id | Item_name   | Item_rate |
+---------+-------------+-----------+
| 1       | HistoryBook | 250       |
| 2       | DBMSBook    | 280       |
+---------+-------------+-----------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
