Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.74

Insert some records into the table with the help of insert command −

mysql> insert into demo80 values('2020-04-30');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14

mysql> insert into demo80 values('2016-01-10');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17

mysql> insert into demo80 values('2018-03-21');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12
