| title: SQL Insert Query
 | |

 | |
| ## SQL Insert Query
 | |
| 
 | |
| Insert queries are a way to insert data into a table. Let's say we have created a table using
 | |
| 
 | |
| `CREATE TABLE example_table ( name varchar(255), age int)`
 | |
| 
 | |
| **example_table**
 | |
| 
 | |
| | Name | Age |
 | |
| | --- | --- |
 | |
| 
 | |
| Now to add some data to this table , we'll use **INSERT** in the following way:
 | |
| 
 | |
| `INSERT INTO example_table (column1,column2) VALUES ("Andrew",23)`
 | |
| 
 | |
| **example_table**
 | |
| 
 | |
| | Name | Age |
 | |
| | --- | --- |
 | |
| | Andrew | 23 |
 | |
| 
 | |
| Even the following will work, but it's always a good practice to specify which data is going into which column.
 | |
| 
 | |
| `INSERT INTO table_name VALUES ("John", 28)`
 | |
| 
 | |
| **example_table**
 | |
| 
 | |
| | Name | Age |
 | |
| | --- | --- |
 | |
| | Andrew | 23 |
 | |
| | John | 28 |
