postgresqlHow do I insert data into a PostgreSQL table?


Inserting data into a PostgreSQL table is a fairly straightforward process. The following example demonstrates how to do this:

INSERT INTO my_table (column1, column2, column3)
VALUES (value1, value2, value3);

This example inserts a row into the table my_table with the values value1, value2, and value3 in the columns column1, column2, and column3, respectively.

The parts of the command are as follows:

  • INSERT INTO - This is the command to insert data into a table.
  • my_table - This is the name of the table into which the data will be inserted.
  • (column1, column2, column3) - This is a list of the columns in the table into which the data will be inserted.
  • VALUES - This is the keyword that indicates the values that will be inserted into the table.
  • (value1, value2, value3) - This is a list of the values that will be inserted into the corresponding columns.
